Hi Kristen,
We all feel your pain. You are so young, you need to find a doctor who
will give you some of your life back. I strongly suggest you find a
doctor who specializes in Endo. Look out of state if necessary. There
are some great doctors out there. I had a great experience with a Dr.
John Rock (he is at LSU), I've been pain free for almost two years(Stage
4 Endo sinces mid teens). You are too young to feel this way! You can
regain your life back you just need to find the right doctor to help
you. Hang in there! LOL
