My Endometriosis Story......

I have had endometriosis ever since I started my period (when I was 15). And let me tell you when the ooctors diagnoised me I was relieved but at the same time I wasnt, I finaly new what was causing all my pain, but it was a disease that I really didnt know to much abou,t that was the outcome. This disease was soooo hard on me I was normal for like a week out of every month. I was taking strong strong narcotics at the age of 15 to ease my pain. I remeber being at school and being in so much pain that I would hit the floor and ball my eyes out, and every one would stare at me, but I didnt care...I hurt!! But I think the most painful thing (even more painful then my cramps) came from my aunt and my cousins. They were like a second family to me. Before I was diagnosed I would take sooo many pills I was really out of it. It would cause me to act goofy and laugh alot, I went to this bomb fire with my cousin. I had to take a few pills that night because I was in a lot of pain. When the medicine started kicking in, I started lauging and getting goofy, but I wasnt the only one(there was alot of kids like that this night but only because they were drunk). Well my cousin said I "embarressed" her and her mom the nex tday told me that "I was white trash and I would never amount to any thing" "THat I was taking those pills on purpose, just to get a high." We didnt talk for two years and even now we dont really talk that much. She also acused me of smoking pot(which I didnt do) I needed someone there for me, expecially them, they were my family. Well I continue my life with out them working jobs and it seems like every job I had my endometriosis got in the way. It even got in the way of school. There was this one class that I almost got kicked out of for missing so much(even though I had doctors notes). I moved out west (to Reno,NV) and this lady told me (because I was taking frequent bathroom breaks beacause the endo make me urinate frequantlly) that if she she that "it(the endo) was going to be a problem, then she wouldnt of hired me!! Like I wanted this dabilitating disease. And she wasnt the first boss the boss before (who also had endo) was irritated by it. From that day forward I decided not to let it get in my way and that I was going to do something about it. I didnt really know what, because theres not muchinformation about it out there. I worked out everyday and I have been taking birth control. I have to say my endo has not bothered me in a long time and I have never been happier. I am joining the Navy, and I am super excited. But my recruter is checking on the endo to see if "its ok" ....I hope so! If it is I am going to take my physical exam and my oath. I have already taken my ASVAB and signed some of my papers.....so I am almost there. Pleases keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I will make it in!! I feel that it will be a great mile stone in my life, and I will feel that I have some how conquered a disease that has effected my life for almost six years.

I feel your pains! I was diagnosed with Endo when I was 21. I have been blessed with 3 kids - so when it came back with a vengeance after my youngest, I had no problems having the total hysterectomy.

Hey Aloha,
When you had your hysterectomy were you giving any grief about it? Do you go through times where you wish you didn't? Also, where you told you were too young??

medication for treatment of endometriosis. Danazol works by decreasing the amount of certain hormones made by the ovaries.
A disease that has much affected more. Endo has not bothered in a long time.

Cy, daocrine has worked for some, but not for everyone. Danocrine was has been around for a long time, even before Lupron. Some women can't handle either of them. They both have bad side effects too.
