Please don't lose heart just yet. I've struggled with endometriosis -- have adenomyosis (the uterus is almost twice it's normal size due to endometrial tissue on the outer uterine muscle)-- periods are extremely painful and very heavy. good thing I'm able to dissociate-- I get the sweats, then chills from the pain-- then I tend to go numb.
(who says mental illness is ALL bad??)

I did manage to get pregnant several times and have had two children. Then I found that the pill helped the symptoms of endometriosis quite a bit(at least for me anyway)-- it was incredible. I told the doctor-- "So, is this the kind of period most women have?"-- and she said "Yep".... and then I said-- "No wonder most women don't make a big deal about it-- wish I could have had it this easy the past 15 years!

I hope you find avenues that help you to get from life what you wish.
Please take care and hoping the best for you.
