Please help

Looking for help! I have and 18 year old daughter and no one is willing to help her. She has all the symptoms of endometriosis. And all they do is send her home with more pain pills and and birthcontrol and tell her to come back in a few months. It is to a point now she can't even work she is on pain meds all the time and in pain even then. I don't want her addicted! Please some one tell me what to do. They ask if she has insurance and then they tell her what they can't do! She could loose her job, I am desperate to find someone to help her. Where can we go! To find someone who really can help and truley cares?

Where are you from? I had the symptoms of endo at 21 and my family practice physcian referred me to a GYN who passed it off and prescribed birthcontrol. It wasnt until I moved from NY to MA and again told my family pratice about it who refered me to a GYN. They did a u/s and saw what they believed was endo. And ordered a laproscopy. Endo can only be diagnosed with surgery. If she is in the amt of pain you are indicating she is probably advanced. When I was finally diagnosed I was and am at Stage IV. If you have any questions please message me. Id be more than happy to discuss/compare symptoms with your daughter. I wish you/her the best of luck

Try a reproductive endocrinologist.  It's not their primary area of specialty, but the doc who knew most about endometriosis in my city was an RE.
