Maybe if he reads about the disease he won't take it so lightly. I
wanted to ask if it is common for endo sufferers to not work because
everytime I go to apply for A JOB I get endo pain and think that I could
not work in this pain and it's not fun to be sick at work then I think
of all the possible eembarrassing situations. And don't think I'm lasy
I was a nurse and worked day and night shifts but I can't imagine doing
that now. Is it possible to go on disability? how do you survive if
your endo's so bad you can't work?
