Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

Hi, I don't know where to start mainly because this is all new to me....well the endo part anyways. I am 25 and for the last few years saw doctors about the pain I was having that has become more consistent. It sure does explain a lot like why I have IBS when I didn't for the first 20 years of my life and why I slept for three days the last time I had my period. I feel like I never have energy, until recently I exercised on a regular basis and now it either hurts too much or I can't even make it to the gym. My doctor is still in the process of figuring this out but said he think its endo. I don't know how to feel and maybe I shouldn't try to figure it out until I know for sure. Right now he has me skipping my periods for just the next few months to see if that helps with the pain and then I don't know what comes next. Did anyone else try this? I just don't want to screw up my body, I know I want to have kids some day. I guess I am just looking for advice on what happens while you're being diagnosed because right now I feel crazy and confused and I still keep trying to find other explanations for my symptoms and pass them off as if they're nothing.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
