Hello all. My sister recently did research on endometriosis as part of her internship, and she told me that a lot of what she has found is consistent with what I’ve told her about my menstrual cycle. As I’ve done my own reading, there are more and more signs and symptoms that describe my experience, especially within the last 6 months. In the past, I have been doubtful that I have it, though, because much of it doesn’t seem quite as severe as what I’ve read on the internet. I’m interested in hearing about other people’s experience with it. Is it possible to have more mild endometriosis? If so, what is it like? Should I go see an OB-GYN? How long did it take to get a diagnosis? Has anyone noticed medications affecting it or triggering it? I’m currently taking Lamotrigine for depression and Hydroxyzine for anxiety. I can also describe my symptoms if that would be helpful.
