hey ladies.
I had no where else to turn, and i've posted before and couldn't locate it again haha. So it was just "confirmed" i had endometriosis last month or so. The reason for the quotes is because my doctor said he does not need to do a laproscopy to tell me i have it because my symptoms are so severe i suppose. He has been trying bcp after bcp and none of them help with the pain. We've done several different anti-inflamatories to attempt to give me some relief, and none of them help. I had to go to the er i was in so much pain a few weeks ago. It was my first time having my period in over a year and it lasted for 20 days. I was not a happy camper, the er doctor gave me some percocet and that seemed to help, but i dont like taking heavy pain killers. I dont know really. Im starting to think its all in my head because my doctor is saying there is not much he can do if im not responding to the bcp. Where im young, 18, he does not want to do much of anything.

I cant continue to live like this. I know you ladies understand that. I miss school, i miss work, i cant get out of bed half the time im in so much pain. It's not very fair. I'm beginning to just hate everything about everything. My doctor seems to think that if i just wait long enough, eventually my pain will go away on its own. I just don't know what to do, where to turn, or what to say. I guess i'd like you guys to give me some hope, some advice, and some ideas. Sorry this is so long. Im just bumming is all.

Thanks for reading this ladies.
Bless you all on this annoying and difficult journey, you're all beautiful.
