About Me
My name is Jessica and I am 17 years old. I have been having problems with stomach pain since about 7th grade. In 9th grade I had a cyst rupture and I had quite a few rupture after that. I believe I have had endometriosis since 7th grade. I was diagnosed on December 19, 2008. I am taking the next step and looking for a treatment while trying to keep the pain under control.

Interests
I love to read and watch movies. I pretty much lost my social live since I've been sick but I was always with my friends before :(. I love arts and crafts and cute little things like that.

Aw! That's not mean at all! I completely understand what you mean! You're not wishing pain on anyone but it's nice to know you're not in pain alone! When I found this site, it helped me so much, no one around me knows what I struggle with daily and I have a hard time letting people know how bad it really is. I'm so happy to meet you!!! Please don't ever feel bad about expressing yourself! Chances are, I've experienced the same feelings!!! Much love, Lisa

Hi! I'm at home on Friday night, in pain, and happened to come across your profile... I understand what you are going through because I had the lap surgery for endo in 2005. It helped a lot, but I think it may be slowly coming back. My worst problem is my back, it's disgustingly terrible! I completely understand about pain, and especially being in pain while young. My back problem started when I was 15 but became severe when I was 19, I had knee surgery my freshman year of high school but still have the same problem, and I had my endo/bleeding cyst surgery in 2005, where they also discovered I had chronic appendicitis, meaning my appendix was poisoning me slowly and I was throwing up daily for a year. The only reason I tell you all this is to let you know that I understand and ALWAYS willing to support you in every way I can! I hope you are having a good, minimal-pain night! Much love, Lisa

Support Groups
Close Endometriosis
I was just diagnosed about a month ago with endometriosis. They did a lap and they discovered its type A and its on my bladder tubes and they couldn't remove any of it. I am waiting for the lupron shot and I am really nervous and stressed about it. Its too much for a normal 17 year old to handle :(.
Treatments
- Extended-Cycle Birth Control Somewhat Helpful
- It seems to work okay..
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Since being diagnosed with endometriosis I had a minibreakdown. Along with that I have anxiety now and just over all have been having a lot of problems.
Close Teen Anxiety
My mom has anexity and also my sister. It all started with one panic attack about being a freshman in high school :/ its gradually gotten worse! :(
Open High School Stress
I went to regular high school and had some health issues and am now being home schooled through an online program.
Treatments
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
Open Panic Attacks
I had my first panic attack in 9th grade. 06/07
Open Depression - Teen
Treatments
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Makes me hallucinate :/ doesn't really seem to be doing to well
Open Chronic Pain
Treatments
- Heat Not Working
- It seems to make my pain worse. Ice seems to help somewhat but it really depends I guess
- Morphine Too Soon to Tell
- I am taking Kadian now and so far (only started taking it yesterday) it worked AMAZING! I was able to function!
- Naproxen Not Working
- It didn't work for me :/
- Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
- It dulled the pain a lot. I think endocet worked better than percocet. I hated the "cloudy" feeling that I got and I was terrified of getting addicted!
- Ice Pack Somewhat Helpful
- It seems to dull the pain for a bit but doesnt always work. It is a great alternative for heating pads though. For some reason heating pads seems to intensify my pain
