Take the pain of child birth anytime over it. I get the flu everytime my period comes around. I have cramping throughout my back and chills all over my body. i was very moody and depressed.I would go off at the drop of a dime. I have about 5 years of good time left to have a baby and then i am recommended to put my eggs away if I dont find someone soon. I am only 30 years old. I gained weight of 50lbs after. I am on 10 different pills for things on top of things from the symptoms of endo. I am feeling better now that I had cells removed. But I might have to have surgery every year to remove them. Sometimes im laying in bed watching life pass me and thinking god I wish i could be outside with my son. But atleast I have him and i have the chance with everything they are doing to help me!! cramping and bleeding are just minor symptoms of this disease . .. leticia penaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-15780641881389516012011-10-30T11:06:18.170-04:002011-10-30T11:06:18.170-04:00Adora - Tiffany told Farah in their phone conversa...Adora - Tiffany told Farah in their phone conversationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-48839899423630997102011-10-23T23:48:33.570-04:002011-10-23T23:48:33.570-04:00Endometriosis does cause scar tissue.

(Why doesn't anyone do research first?) Endometriosis is actually when cells from the lining of the uterus grow in other areas of the body. The first post got part of it right, it can cause irregular bleeding and terrible cramping. I imagine she is having surgery to correct it. I sure hope so, as it is a terribly painful condition and can make it very hard to have babies. I have lived with fibroid tumors all of my adult life which is insanely painful, but i think endo is even worse - but more treatable. LOADS of good thoughts for Kirsten!! I'll be glad to have her back on GH! :)amy lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272298691590248311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-37295342048953205372011-10-23T12:50:12.424-04:002011-10-23T12:50:12.424-04:00I have a friend with this condition, and I know ho...I have a friend with this condition, and I know how it can really affect your life.

I had an outpatient surgery in 1998 where they burned out the scar tissue (they actually showed me my own pictures of it after!) After the surgery the pain came back within 5 years as they say it does,but I was still able to have a child,a daughter born in 2002. Ironically, the severe cases usually don't have the pain that the mild cases do,but severe cases are the ones associated with sterility. In 2009 I had a miscarriage and I am going to be 40 in March so I don't know if I will be able to have another child. In suffering from this disease though, I am grateful to have one. They tell me I need surgery again so who knows what will be in store,but I wish Kirsten all the best, I love GH,out of every single show out there today,it's still my favorite and Kirsten is one of my favorites on there.
