I was just browsing the web and came across this sight, it was exciting to see others knowing what I'm going through. All of the women in my family on both of my parents sides have had endometriosis, but they have all had hysterectomies and my sisters are having babies now or can take birth control to manage some of the symptoms. I'm allergic to all birth controls and I'm 21, in college, working full time- I'm not ready to have children so far the only thing I've found to help manage the pain are prescription opiates such as codeine and I work in health care so it's not ok for me to take these during the time that I work. Has anyone found anything that has helped with the pain? I've tried hot water bottles, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, exercising, I'd try just about anything.

Sorry to hear the pain is that bad, you could ask gp for stronger anti inflamatory such as naproxen but remember all drugs have side effects. I'm not sure what else to suggest apart from seeing gynae for excision surgery to remove as much endo as possible.
