I was diagnosed at 17, about three months after I met a wonderful man. MY first realy boyfriend. I'm 19 now and have been through 1 lap, 2 lupron shots, urethra dialation, 2 steriod epidurals and a D&C. Its been exactly 2 yrs and5 days since I was diagnosed and about 2 1/2 yrs of chronic pain. Emotionally I'ma wreck. Nothing seems to help. I feel like I've tried everything in the book. Somedays are better than others. For qa long time I felt like I was a burden on my boyfriend, But he's stuck with me for these 22 1/2 yrs, so loving me must outweigh the way I act twords him when I'm in pain. I also get a swollen abdomen and my migraines are unbeleivable. I;m also starting to get TMJ from all the stress im undergoing. Well you could always try to conceieve now. MY dr. at the age I'am now told me my only cure was to have a baby. Then my endo pain would go away. Of course I got a 2nd opinon. Find the right dr. for you. I have been to many OBGYNS as well as pain specialists and GP.s. I'am now seeing an endo specialist for my pain and for the first time in two years I actually have hope! I hope you too find something that works for you, and I know that things might seem difficult with you and your hubby but they will get better. IF he truly loves you its for better or worse. Just remember you will not always be in pain. Jessica
