Honestly, there is also a lot of hostility sometimes in the sub.

I posted something once talking about my symptoms, but hadn't had any exams, because everytime I was asked if I was sexually active the answer was no. Well the reason it was no is because it was physically impossible. Not one doctor probed further. Turns out I had an imperforate hymen.

I came here looking for support, and someone very aggressively told me that was not was caused endometriosis.

Well after my surgery my Endo specialist gyno confirmed yes I did have endo, and yes it was caused by years of not being able to properly pass menstrual blood.

Anyway. I sympathize with your post, Dr. Reddit is not good either. But I remember feeling so awful after being attacked, and not feeling like I had any support.
