Okay so I’ve been having symptoms for endo since I was 14 years old. My first OB knows it runs through my family and said more than likely I have it. I’ve tried all sorts of birth control. Eventually I had to switch OBGYNs because he never was there to answer my questions. Yes I had ultrasounds twice. Both came back clean.

Current day, 4th year dealing with pain. I’m on orilissa which is for endo. I had all the side effects for this medicine (I guess it’s suppose to remove it or reduce?) and yet in pain like clock work everyday. Because of this I have been trying the OCB oil and let me say 3 hours of relief is amazing. I don’t take it often because well I hate the taste.

And yes, I have seen a general doctor and she said it doesn’t seem like anything stomach related.

So what’s up then? What’s going on? Well when I saw my doctor I said I want surgery if this medicine doesn’t start to work.... if that’s the case do I go through with surgery even though I could be crazy and not even have endo? Does anyone else feel like this? My OBGYN made it seem like it could be possible for me with our chat but before she seems so confident with putting me on orilissa.

I thought I knew I had endo. Like that feeling in your gut. But after that I’m not sure. Please give me advice because I’m really confused and this medicine is too expansive for my parents since I’m going to college soon.
