    Hi ladies. I have been diagnosed with a misunderstood diagnosis called endometriosis. I have been diagnosed for 6 years and have had a hard time with finding doctors who are much help because of lack of education on this issue. I went through four surgeries to remove Endo, one to tie tubes, a cyst removed, and ovary removed. I suffer with horrific pain that doesn't necessarily come every month but when it does it is unbearable. Severe pain is never normal. My mother, sister, my aunts have all had the issue and all aunts have had hysterectomies. I have had to quit working. Nothing helps my pain. Nsaid meds make the bleeding worse so I have to avoid any ibprophen or aleve. I have several anxiety. The only medication that calms the pain is an anxiety medication which calms the contracting like cramps. I have had two kids. I get throbbing, burning pain and can not get off the couch some days. I have pain in pelvic area that radiates through the back to where I can't walk or get rest some nights. I've lost weight and have become anemic on several occasions. I do not recommend the lupron Depot shot for this issue. It causes bone density issues which led to me losing teeth at a young age. The list goes on. Endometriosis differs in every women. Some women have no symptoms at all. I pass blood clots, have excessive bleeding. I hope this helps some of you.
