I'm still new to the whole idea of having endo and everything that comes with it. I've got a lot of fears with it and my treatments are messing with my system. It seems like everything I do just makes my body more pissed off. Worse than my body, is my friends and family...and work. When I go to my friends or boyfriend for support they just seem to brush me off. They don't understand how I feel. My mom just seems to think i'm over-reacting and need to deal with my pain and problems better. I've missed a couple days of work because of pain and my managers are all giving me a hard time for leaving work "because I wasn't actually sick." I swear people just don't get it. Just because people don't know much about endo they assume it can't really effect someone's life. I'm just sick of feeling so alone, scared, and depressed.
Maybe this should go under the rant section, but either way, its nice to know someone reading this might understand how I feel. Thats a lot more than anyone else in my life.

i completely understand how you feel as would many other girls on the board. i hink peoples reactions to the illness are due to the fact that its not physical so to speak and i know my friends would tell me they had period pain and it never affected their life so unless you have experienced it its very hard to understand the pain and how much it affects your life.
what treatments are you currently on? i think you will find alot of benefits in communicating with people on the baord to learn about treatements and pain management.
good luck x

I've had the same problems. There are so many people that seem to think I'm just doing it for attention. It makes me so mad! I wish those people would have to deal with the pain for a few hours, just to make them shut up! I've even been told by some people that I need to suck it up and just work through it. They don't get how bad it gets. Its not a pain that I can just suck up!!!!!
