Dear Anon, Welcome to the forums. I really feel for you. Your post brought a tear to my eye. You sound so depressed and sad. I'm sure you will find some comfort from all the wonderful ladies here. I was a little surprised at 19 you have not been to a GYN yet. You really need to do that. Symptoms of Endo vary from person to person. It sounds like you do have a couple of Endo symptoms. The only way to diagnose Endo is through a Lap. You do need to have that done. Ask friends and realitives who they go to and how their bedside manner or demeanor is. Start off that way. Just get to one. Don't let our stories scare you away from going to a GYN. We are all diagnosed with Endo so we come in here to share our experiences and vent to one another because we all know how the other is feeling. Even with the pain, the best thing I did was get a diagnosis. It feels good when you get "vindicated" and know in your head that there really is something wrong with you. You may not even have Endo. It could be something much more simple but you will never know unless you take that proactive step. I'm sorry I can't be much more help than that. But my strongest advice to you is make that appointment. So pick up the phone and come back and tell us when your first GYN appointment is. It really isn't that bad. Don't be scared. Hugs to all that need it today....two hugs to you Anon.
