Over the past few months my periods have gradually gotten worse and worse. I've always had a heavy flow but now it's just a crime scene everytime, my period has become irregular leaving me with anxiety of when it's going to start and the cramps have turned into sharp pains that I wouldn't wish on anyone... which is why im making this post. I've never experienced pain like this in my entire life, pain in my abdomen, vaginal area and even my rectal area. It's so bad everytime, making me often skip school and stay bed ridden or crouched over on the floor by the toilet. Ibuprofen, Advil, aleve.. I've tried it all and nothing helps. I've told my mom and everytime she tells me to take a pill and try not to think about the pain but I can't do that when it's all I'm experiencing. I've looked up symptoms many times and everytime I do it leads me to endometriosis... I've made a doctors appt. to get a successful answer but I fear that the doctors will tell me the same thing my mom has been.. that it's just bad cramps and a heavy flow. I've read so many stories of how women don't get diagnosed with this disorder until theyre much older and many women don't even know they have it..

If you have endometriosis or any disorder that puts you in chronic pain while on or off your period OR think you have something and can't get answers, please share your story so I know I'm not alone on this because this is something that scares the living daylights out of me
