I have had problems with my period ever since puberty. I started out missing my periods, over the years things got progressively worse. I was first diagnosed with poly cystic ovarian syndrome due to the symptoms I was having (irregular periods, high testosterone, low energy, painful heavy periods). Things got much worse, the pain increased, I completely lost my periods all together, finally I ended up in the emergency room. The ER doctor said that considering my history of clean ultrasounds chances were that I had endometriosis, I needed to see a OBGYN. I lost my insurance when I lost my job so I have not had the opportunity to do so. My life has turned into a nightmare. I can't have sex with my boyfriend, I have debilitating pain in my lower abdomen, stomach, back, and even my legs. I suffer from diarrhea, non-existent periods, even bladder problems. I feel as if this will never go away, I just don't know what to do. This is ruining my life and I can't do anything about it. To make things worse I keep reading stories online that other women have posted about their experiences, the majority of them seem to mirror mine... Where do I start and what can I do to get this taken care of?
