My Freind Needs help with her Endometriosis
Hello all,
I have a question. My friend has all of the symptoms of endometriosis. She has cramping, pain during sex, irregular periods, bleeding during ovulation, she also has IBS. Her twin sister had it, and so did her mother. She has been married for three years and has not concieved a child. They have never used protection, other than the pull out method and she has never been pregnant. The Doctors won't do a laproscopy as they say it is too expensive. They want her to get on the pill, but she hates the way the pill makes her feel emotionally, and also, she wants to get pregnant soon. The Doctors told her that she probably isn't fertile anyway and she is devastated. They haven't run any tests on her. She only has KAiser and cannot really get a second opinion. What should she do? Both her sisters and Mothers endometriosis went away after they had thier babies.

So what if she has Kaiser. Tell her to keep raising hell until they have her see the head of ob-gyn there. My Kaiser doc did everything in the world to help me.
I have endo too. Tell her to keep her chin up. I had three beautiful healthy children before I had my hysterectomy. Keep after the doctor and if that doesn't work look for one that will take her seriously. Endo is a painful, and emotionally crippling disease, but it can be overcome. I'll pray for her, and the best thing you can do is be a good friend to her because that's what she needs. Good luck.
