Hi guys.

I'm 19 years old and just before Christmas I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I have an operation quite soon after and they said I had it quite bad and they managed to get rid of 90% of it. However, recently the 10% left has caused me some real issues and today I'm starting a 6 month course of injections that trick your body into thinking I'm going into the menopause. However they are giving me medication to stop the side effects, but I'm really worried. Has anyone else had this, that could give me some insight into what's going to happen? Thank you x
