Hello Lee, I was just dianosed last April at age 24, im now 25 so i know how you feel. I was also diagnosed w/endo stage II, moderate. My doc also didnt remove some of the endo that was on my left ureter, and didnt release my ovary which is stuck to my tube. Iv been suffering sine i was 21 but within these last few years the symptoms just got worse, specially after my surgery. I was also diagnosed w/IC (interstitial cystitis) and possibly w/IBS (irratable bowl syndrom). And from what iv learned these two issues are quite often w/woman who suffer from endo. At times, i feel like im 80 years old! Im always tired, in pain. Just know, that there are many of us who understand exactly what you are gng through!! Steph R. :)
