hi, my name is lindsey and im a new member here. I am only 16 but i have to live with endo. I went to the doctors last school year and they did blood tests, MRI, Ultrasound...and they said that they are almost positive that i have endo. But they wouldnt give me a laparoscopy or anything...they gave me birth control and motrin 800. When i tried to explain to my parents that the pain was really getting bad they told me to get over it and stop making excuses to miss school...so i stoped going to the doctor cuz they were not helping and i cant turn to my parents for help...at frist it felt like the pain was fading but i was wrong, its getting bad again. It even makes it hard to sleep at night. HOW CAN I GET MY PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND? my mom has endo but had a hysterectamy...she didnt have it too bad she said. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY GOOD DOCTORS I COULD GO TO THAT WOULD HELP ME MORE? I Live in Michigan....please help me...im alone on this and i dont want to be scared and confused anymore...

Welcome Lindsey! Maybe you should show your parents this website, it might help them understand a bit more! Also, if you are looking for ways to treat this disease without going to a doctor, look around in the Alternative Treatments forum. And PLEASE go and post in the Just For Teens room! Until you joined we had only one teenage member and I feel kind of bad that she's in there posting by herself.
