I began to have symptoms of endometriosis at the age of 15 yet was not officially diagnosed until I reached 18. For so many years I dealt with pain,Pain that would have me bedridden, my legs would go numb and all I could do was cry. Many doctors would not go near me because of my age and refused to treat the actual disease. I spent six years on birth control that never "regulated" me, in fact my bleeding and clotting was worse. I felt like nobody would listen to me and I was tired, so tired of being in pain and being deppressed. The disease began to affect my bowels and I couldn't take it anymore. I found a wonderful doctor who listened to me and gave me all of the options I had. My husband and I decided that my quality of life was more important and that I should have the hysterectomy. My heart is broken because all I ever wanted was to have a child and it was the hardest decision I ever made, however, after my surgery I discovered that my ovaries hadn/t worked properly and I woudn't have been able to have children anyway. The hurt hasn't gone away but knowing that made me feel so much better. I justed wanted to share my story and maybe help to ease someone else because living in PAIN is no way of living. I am 5 months post-op and though the hormone therapy is fun to say the least, I already feel like I have my life back and to me, my husband and my family, that is all that matters.
