Endometriosos & Adenomyosis with acute pain episodes

Hi! I am also a 27 y/o with endometriosis. I am on my 8th or so referral. I would love to say once you find the right doctor it will be solved and you will feel better but unfortunately endo isn't that easy. I started symptoms at 14 and progressively declined. I had my ovaries and tubes removed at 23 and a complete hysterectomy at 25. About six months after my last surgery the pain resurfaced. I started Lupron Depot injections for 6 months. Unfortunately they did not work. I have seen a gastronologist, colon/rectol surgeon, primary care physicians, and ob-gyn specialist. I have since been referred to Mayo Clinic. I'm hopeful that there is an explaination. One word of advice from a person with similar history is to start a journal. Write down everything even when you feel its just repetition. It has helped me so much. Also that wonderful husband of yours is going to be your lifeline. Mine has stood beside me for almost 8 years and times get rough. Just always promise yourself and him that you will be open and honest about your pain and emotional needs. I'm not a doctor but I could be a supporting fellow endo sufferer if needed 🙂 good luck!

I wish you the best!! I found an endo doctor on the endometriosis association's website. I went to see him on Monday. At first he was pretty skeptical about me asking for a second opinion. He has decided to treat me. He asked me questions no other doctor has every asked me before. We are waiting for my medical records to be transferred over (which is taking forever) and then we are going to come up with a plan. Hang in there! I recently started a blog. The past few months have been absolutely horrible for me, I can barely imagine how the past few years have been for you!. I hope Mayo Clinic can help you!!

Where is your blog? I would love to follow. I hope this doctor can help. Best wishes.

I just started it today. Took me a while to write my first post. Thank you 🙂
