Thanks for listening. > >-- >Leah > Hey Leah, I know how you feel, and i wish i could help more. I just turned 22 in december, and found out i have endo in january of this year, when i had my laparoscopy. I don't want to make you feel worse, but my pain doesn't always happen around my period. When I first started having problems, and had severe pain so bad, i ended up in the er, I was two weeks away from my period. And that was why it was so hard for my doctor to conclude that I had endo. I have a history of kidney stones, so of course that was her first conclusion, but after the dye and x-rays, they ruled the stones out, and I was in so much pain, i was willing to do anything to make it stop, so i agreed to the lap, and sure enough , i had endo on my left ovary, and the back of my uterus, and there was something about scar tissue in my abdomen. Any way, after she lasered that off, i started bc pills, and, and pain pills. There are alot of days, that i've had to miss work because of the pain, i'm actually surprised I still have a job, but it's just something i'm trying to explore more about, so that i will know all of my options. I wish I could help you more, but i'm kind of new at this also. If I can help you with anything, just let me know. Wish you lots of luck, and pain free days. Crystal
