Whether blamed on a wandering womb, witchcraft or still, to this day, being 'all in our heads' – women's health has been consistently misunderstood. As a result women have, and still are, missing out on receiving the healthcare they deserve. In ‘It’s Probably Nothing’, Naga Munchetty explores the difficulties of being heard, diagnosed and treated.

Ich werde das Meer nie wieder hören. Dieser Satz, den ich einst von einem Betroffenen hörte, brannte sich in meinen Kopf ein und festigte die Hoffnungslosigkeit in mir, nie wieder gesund zu werden. Ich heiße dich herzlich willkommen und freue mich, dass du hier bist, um mich durch den einschneidendsten Teil meiner Lebensgeschichte zu begleiten. Ich nehme dich mit und erzähle dir meine Geschichte von meinem Versuch, mich aus dem Treibsand zu befreien, der mich bei jeder verzweifelten Bewegung nur noch tiefer versinken ließ, bis ich letztlich nicht mehr in der Lage war, mich selbst zu versorgen.

Some stories are humorous, some sad, others poignant, but all are very 'human'.

The daybooks also provided a modicum of hints at other activities in his life, including his farming business and the whereabouts of his wayward son. However, there were no personal letters or diaries available. Thus, other primary sources and local newspaper accounts were utilized to fill out the most likely details and actions of his life,...
