I have to schedule everything around the week before and the week of my periods. I can’t get out of bed 5 out of the 6-7 day I bleed because the cramping is so terrible. My nausea is almost constant save for one week in between my cycles. I can’t stand living like this.

I’ve scheduled a consultation with my GYN to discuss and set up a date for my laparoscopy, but I’m afraid a laparoscopy won’t be enough. I’m on the birth control patch Xulane but all that’s done is normalize my cycle and make me anxious/nauseous.

Painkillers only just take the edge off but I’m still always hurting. I don’t care if I become sterile, I just want the pain to stop. I’m sick of being curled up in the fetal position, silently crying and shaking from the pain. It gets so bad some days I just want to die to make it stop.

Is there literally anything else I can do along with the laparoscopy to get rid of this pain? I’ve never been hospitalized before due to the pain, but I’ve considered it a few times when the pain got to be too much.

Please help me. I need advice.
