Go to another Doctor... I went to five Doctors before I finally found one who believed me. Your correct, what your experienceing is not normal. I had the same problems at 20, if not before. I was on pill after pill after pill. They told me it was IBS, they told me everything and it was very discouraging. they didn't figure out that I had very sever endo until last year when I was 24. It ruined my grades through out university because of all the time I was away sick. now I'm paying for it. My low GPA means I can't get into the undergrad program I want and I have to re-do a bunch of courses to up my GPA. I AM NOT getting a hystorectomy and have been 'managing' with the pain now that I know what I'm dealing with.
