Whats wrong with me

[ashleyrosebush]

OK.. I'm 20 going on 21. For the past couple of weeks I keep having really soft stool. I feel tired and sick.. Mostly tired and less of the sick part. It always smells like a subway station. No not the bathrooms.. The actual oil smell. :S    
One time in it looked like yellow phlegm. I haven't noticed weight loss due to the fact that I don't weigh myself. Although in this situation I should probably be doing that. Oh yea. My right lymph node is slightly swollen. I haven't lost my appetite. When I eat though the nauseas feeling stays. Sometimes I feel like I didn't eat at all.  I don't think I have a parasite. Unless I got it from something I ate. I haven't traveled at all. I don't drink a lot of coffee. What's wrong?

Hi,

' Major symptom of endometriosis is severe recurring pain. The amount of pain a woman feels is not necessarily related to the extent or stage of endometriosis.

Symptoms of endometriosis can include (but are not limited to):

- dysmenorrhea - Painful, sometimes disabling menstrual cramps; pain may get worse over time (progressive pain)
- Chronic pelvic pain - typically accompanied by lower back pain and/or abdominal pain, painful sex , painful bowel movements
- Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
- dysuria - Urinary urgency, frequency, and sometimes painful voiding
- Infertility and subfertility. Endometriosis may lead to fallopian tube obstruction.

Some women may also suffer mood swings and fatigue.

In addition, women who are diagnosed with endometriosis may have gastrointestinal symptoms that may mimic irritable bowel syndrome.'

The only way to confirm and diagnose endometriosis is by laparoscopy or other types of surgery. The diagnosis is based on the characteristic appearance of the disease, if necessary corroborated by a biopsy. Laparoscopy also allows for surgical treatment of endometriosis.

Generally, endometriosis-directed drug therapy is utilized after a confirmed surgical diagnosis of endometriosis.

Lupron depo shot is also a gonadotropin and is used to lower the hormone levels in the woman's body to prevent any growth of endometriosis. The lupron shot is given in 2 different doses a once a month for 3 month shot with the dosage of (11.25mg) or a once a month for 6 month shot with the dosage of (3.75mg).

This puts the body into a "medicated menopause", resulting in side effects such as mild to severe hot flashes or a drop in bone density (which usually recovers after treatment). The therapy is less invasive than surgical approaches.

Let us know if you need any other information and do review with your OBG.

Regards.

I also must add that I do have endometriosis(Spelling) and before my period as well as during I have these problems. Never has it gone after. Just though I'd add that in.
