Uhh...AM I DYING??

Wow... I didn't realize how bad it could be... I guess from hearing people talk about going in for surgery for it, I assumed it could be treated reasonably, if not cured... Yikes! I'm really sorry to hear you're having to deal with all of that!

 

oh no sweetie its okay, I reread my post and it sounded like i had a bit of a tude but i didnt mean it in any way that it might have came across...
People have different stages of endo, some have it worse then others..it just depends on the person/stage...

 

My question is 'What are you supposed to do if you can't go to a doctor?"

Even Planned Parenthood charges more than a hundred bucks for an exam.

Second question for older sisters "Is it normal to start having cramps and clotting as you approach your 40's?"

Cinnamom

 

The first time I had surgery for endo it spread thru the scar tissue caused by the surgery. Agh. I swear modern medicine blows some days.

 

God, my heart just goes out to all of you sisters...*big big hugs of healing love to all of you.*

 

I have a cousin who has vomiting and diarrhoea with every period, as well as cramps. THAT is rock-bottom in my opinion. Midol gives me stomachaches as well, but the stomachache is better than the cramps.

Does anyone else here get really irritated upon hearing of women who don't get cramps?
