Hi Lelia,

have you thought about going directly to your course tutor and asking him/her to sort it out? I'm seeing mine on Thursday morning, before we start the new semester, to tell her what's been going on. She may be able to contact the disability office for you. I found out recently a good friend of mine has Endo. I never knew before because she has no symptoms, no real pain. She was diagnosed when they were looking for somthing else and put on treatment straight away and it's never affected her life at all. That could be what this secretary is like, maybe she is one of the lucky ones without real symptoms. Problem is, people who don't know anything about the disease, and see people who are obvioulsy handling it well, don't realise that there is another side to it. I hope things work out for you and if you do go to your course tutor, don't forget to mention the womans attitude. She should not be speaking to people like that who phone her for help. That's her job!! Take care,

love

>Hi all, > >I'm a college student too and followed your talks on that issue. Well I have only had one lap in 96 when I was dx. I was immediately put on depo provera and remained ignorant of endo for yrs. (this doctor didnot remove my endo) I have found an RE who is willing to do another lap , we're waiting on my cycle to come back. Well I called the diablility office just now because I'm spotting and I know my pain is coming back soon. I'll miss classes and it was really bad before and debilitating(pain). Woman at the disability office made several remarks that truly upset me. she said oh my secretary had that and she's fine! I tried to explain my concern that my doctor may /may not write a note explaining my condition is chronic and the absences i may have. ( which we all know some docs won't give pain meds or won't excuse absences cause they don't think we're in that much pain) well the thing that really upset me was this woman said blah blah Maybe he can cure you the way you want to be cured!! >! what kinda crap is that? I can't believe in trying to explain endo to her that this is what she got from me? did I do that bad a job? Now the people at the disability office aren't gonna be behind me cause they seem to think I am not cured the way i want to be! *&&$#####!!!!! this burns me up. I want to call her back and say that yah your secretarys probably not fine she has been told wrong and just doesn't know that she's still having problems and is not cured! >Help! what do I do? >Lelia
