According to her, she knew deep down that something was not right and she went to see doctors at different hospitals who thought there was nothing medically wrong with her.
Tania continued by saying that she was told in Austria that her illness was in her head even though she had heavy and painful periods where she bled for three weeks out of four.
She was constantly in and out of the hospital and a doctor told Tania's dad that she was seeking attention.
Breakthrough
Tania's solution came through when she saw a Tanzanian supermodel Milan who shared her story and battle with endometriosis.
After researching, Tania found out about the hospital even though her Nigerian coworkers whom she was working with in South Africa at that time told her she couldn't be battling the same thing.
