Hello @amwein! Welcome to our community! This must be tough to see your daughter in so much pain. Thank you for reaching out. You will find our community to be supportive and helpful.
I'm tagging fellow members @bethmcch @twinskl @freemary @gman007 and @rosemarya all of whom have experience with acute or chronic pancreatitis. I hope they will share their experiences. I am also tagging members @twins4ever, @catrogocki, @michellecrcrn and @fmassad- whom have discussed endometriosis. Please share and learn from each other.
@amwein, here is some information about endometriosis http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/endometriosis/basics/definition/con-20013968 and here is a link to our visiting Mayo Clinic group on connect http://mayocl.in/2bGLTKj.
Please keep us updated along the way so future young ladies, on connect, that may be going through the same thing can learn as well.
@amwein, how long has your daughter been troubled with symptoms?

The Mayo Clinic's information on endometriosis contains myths and misinformation. Is there a way to petition to update it?

Thank you! When I am "Dr. Web", I go to Mayo first.
She has had terrible periods since they began when she was 12, but was officially diagnosed when she had a laparoscopy in April of 2015. She was in the children's hospital with pancreatitis AND her period 5 months in a row. It took a long time for anyone to listen to her father and I that there had to be a coorelation. After her surgery, she had some relief, but the symptoms began again in Sept. of 2015 with more hospital stays.
