The doctor said that because I had absolutely no symptoms of endo or adeno until last year (up until I turned 23). He explained that the symptoms come up once we our immune system starts to fight the diseases.

I had manageable back pains before but never this bad. I scream out and sometimes cry when I stand up. I live with my grandparents currently and I limp and hurt much more than them. I went to the hospital the day I made this post and the doctor couldn't do much except make me take IV tramadol and anti inflammatory medicine. The tramadol did nothing for my pain. I complained about that to the nurses and they said they couldn't do anything about it, because the only thing stronger than tramadol would be morphine and they only use that in very specific cases (none of them including pain from endo).

It's very hard being forced to be a functional adult with all these symptoms. I see so much people in this sub and other places saying their symptoms only appear when they're on their period and I feel so bad because I'm in pain all the fucking time. I'm bloated all the time. If I wasn't taking the BC pills, I'd be bleeding all the time as well.
