I don't mean to post this in multiple areas but I had a thread started a bit ago under the "introduce yourself" area as "Suprise, I have Endometriosis" AND just in case the traffic has stopped on that thread, I didn't think it would hurt to put it here. I really am panicked and I need to hear something for someone...
I am going in tomorrow for my lap and the freaking out has kind of started up again. I've been reading more about all this and I tend to be a victim of the worst case scenarios... Theres a handful of people telling me that this just isn't a big deal, but how can they say that? It may very well end up being a "big deal". I've had so much pain lately, and anything that can just hit you like this, can't be ok. Like I mentioned before, I have always had severe pain during my cycle, but for the past couple of months, it has been HORRIBLE. Some days I can do almost normal activities, other days, I'm stuck on the damn couch. Throughout all this I absolutely have to take pain meds every 4 hours or I can't function. This isn't just on my period, it's been almost 2 consecutive months straight. My dr said that if he saw the ultrasound of my ovaries, without knowing I had any pain, they were in ideal health "perfect". But I've had cysts before, I've had them rupture and I know that pain. I'm no stranger to pain... And my dr at THAT TIME had no clue anything was even wrong. I've read the things that can occur with Endometriosis and so many has happened to me. I realize I'm going on a panicked rant, but I don't feel like I'm getting any damn answers from anyone, and I'm scared. I can't figure out what could have triggered this constant pain. COULD anything have triggered it? Does this sh*t just happen? Many months ago I had gone on the HCG Diet, which is the pregnancy hormone, does anyone know if that could have anything to do with this? I'm trying to go about things as I normally would, but I am quickly reminded that I just can't. Almost everyone I know seems to know someone that has had Endo but somehow no one is able to point me in any kind of direction. Everything my dr says sounds like he's Dr. Sunny Sunshine and I shouldn't have a care in the world, and I just want to shake him. I wouldn't feel like this if there wasn't something very wrong and it's starting to drive me up the damn wall.
Ok. That's whats currently bouncing around in my head...
