It can be very painful and it is hard to find a doctor that will actually help you with it since it is hard to determine.
The only *real* way to see if you have it is by laproscopic surgery (thru your belly button)...then they can see how bad it is, etc.
It's been the story of my life, I'd be glad to help you what I can.

I've had the pain for more than 2 years now, and before everyone always told me I was making it up and that I couldn't be in that much pain... that I must be faking it. It's taken until I think it was september for the doctors to realize that there IS something wrong with me. And it didn't help that I had little support from those in my life before I found out. But I think it will be alright now, I have someone in my life, who when he found out, did everything he could to find out about it and to try to help me through the realization process. And he hasn't stopped caring since.
I do have a couple of questions though, the lapracsopy surgery... is it a day surgery? Or does it take longer if they feel they need to remove the tissue? I've heard a few different things, so I would like to know from someone who has gone through the procedure. As well, is it uncomfortable while it's healing? Or do you not even notice. And should you take time off work/school to stay home and rest, or is it okay to continue with what you were doing before the surgery?
If you feel some discomfort or pain during sex (but only when in certain positions), should you refrain from sex completely? Or just those positions. And I heard that getting pregnant often will get rid of the disease (I think it was webmd that said this) in a 40-60% chance. Is there any truth to it?
Thank you so much for offering to help Imagine =) I appreciate it soooo much -hug-
