Hello, I am also 23 and in the same boat. Its a shitty boat to be in. I totally understand the mood swings, one minute I will be perfectly fine and optimistic about everything, the next I'm a sobbing mess. Have you discussed the possibility of surgery with your doctor or gynecologist? I'm going for a Laparoscopy next week in the hope of finding a more permanent solution than just taking pain meds or the contraceptive pill. But I really sympathise, having this kind of disease at our age really stops us from being young. Just make sure you are regular in your pain killers so you don't have to suffer and if it really isn't working go and pester your doctor some more. My doctor must be sick of seeing me but I am finally getting the treatment I want.

I hope you feel a bit better soon.

xx

Hi, I'm 26 and have had all the pain, mood swings etc for 2 months I wake 1-2 times a night with pain. I totally understand the exhaustion and the mood swings. My docs have ruled everything out before agreeing its Endo. I'm waiting for my referral to see a gyno. I'm starting to forget what life was like before this. I hope you feel better soon. x

My doc said to me that my gyno may recommend a mirena. Would that be an option for you? x
