My Story:
I am 26 and have been married for 4 years to a wonderful husband. I was diagnosed with endo at age 12. I was very lucky that my parents believed me when I complained about my painful periods and took me to a gyno right away. My gyno in Puerto Rico (where I was born and raised), was quickly to suspect endo and performed a laparoscopy to confirm I had it. I have been struggling with endo since then. 3 laparoscopies so far, 3 tries with Lupron Depot and numeros oral contraceptive pills with different hormone levels. I dont have kids yet, ever
being pregnant or planning to for at least a couple more years. I moved to
the US (CA) 4 years ago when I married and my hubby joined the Navy.
My experience here had been far worse. Doctors often dont listen to your
symptoms and are not knowledgeable enough. I have been battling with IBS
for the past 3 years, have constant fatigue and joint pain. My periods are
excrutiating and have painful bowel movements. Right now I'm just fighting for my right to live my life with a good quality and enjoying every minute of it.
