Hi there!!
First of all, welcome to the boards, sorry of what has brought you here
though. sometimes we meet the best people during times of pain. Yes,
This IS all temporary, I believe that as well! I will just tell you a
little bit about myself. I am 20 yrs old and was diagnosed in march via
a lap with endo. I am currently on lupron, my third shot will be in 2
wks. I've had several bad bouts of pain as well, HORRIBLE! Make sure
they don't try and tell you that you have endo without diagnosing with a
lap first. I'm going to go for now, but feel free to email me off list
if you would like. Thanks for your uplifting words you had to say!
