I have had Endometriosis since I was 15. I have been taking the pill since then too. My condition is getting worse and I need help to control it. I have no insurance and make less then $14,000 a year. Natural remedies cost less, but I dont know if any work. I have all the major symptoms and am almost always in pain. I am only 21, but the pain is causing me to not live like a normal 21yr old. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have had 3 Dr.s tell me I have it. I can not have children because of other issues. Infertility is not an issue. Cost is.

Lots of women take extra vitamins and supplements to try to help. I havnt done this myself except for extra vit c and e. Some women modify their diet hoping that will help. Unfortunately, most women on the message board I frequent do not get much, if any pain relief but it could be worth trying. I would go to askapatient.com or remedyfind.com and see what has helped for some. There are a good number of women that swear by natural progesteron cream-its roughly 30 bucks, I havnt tried it myself and dont know if you can take it while your on bc but it might be something to try. With your level of income you may qualify for state health insurance b/c in reality, a lap is what you need so if you could get state medical insurnce than I would try that route. If you go-choose your dr. carefully. You want a dr. that is knowledgable in endo and one who will excise it-NOT burn it off. I wish you luck.

I have endo and i have horrible pain all the time too. I also am 21 and can't live life, it's pretty depressing. I had surgery about 2 months ago and the pain is just as bad, but that is unusual for it not to help. You do need to go get the surgery i do think it will help you. Just like the others say, do a payment plan. Is paying a bit of money a month to feel like a person again really that bad of a thing? I do make an herbal tea called endometriosis tea. i put in it-1tsp echinacea, chaste berry, 1/2tsp horsetail and red raspberry. Motherwort is also something that should be put in it too. Go and buy herbs bulk and put them in a tea ball, bring the water to a boil, trun off and stick the tea ball in and cover and let seep for a few hours. I usually double the batch so it lasts longer. Drink 2 cups a day. Really just go get a herb book from the library and make sure it has something on endo in it, it should tell you what herbs will be helpful. I also take evening primrose capsuls and really all women should take them they are so good for you. And look up the herbs i listed and see what they are good for, I could explain but i think you should look it up regardless to make sure im not some crazy person. But if you use horsetail you need to take a b vitamin supplement. hope this helps

honey forget health insurance or natural remedies...do what u gotta do to treat endo now or ull regret it later on in ur life..when u get married and want to have kids..endo can make u bcome infertile and can cause ur body to create scar tissue which can cause u terrible pains the more left untreated. but im just curious about one thing..how sure ur about having endo. endo its not a easy thing to get diagnosed unless having surgery( i had all the symptoms too hun- and i was diagnosed w.endometriosis this yr...aft my surgery the doc told m that they found nothing besides my appedix which was bad and some scar tissue which is prob.one of the things that was causing me the pains in my lower abdominal). so id recomend u to get a sec.opnion from a diff doc.if he diagnose w.endo as well and tell u that u need a laparoscopy GO FOR IT, ull b fine in few days and much MUCH better, i know a lot of times money is a huge issue but please put ur health in first place. besides if u have a surgery for endo. u can apply for medicaid in the hospital which will cover the hospital bills and u can make a plan w.ur doc how ud like to pay him for the surgery(u can even tell him if u can pay $5/$10 a month) hope u feel well soon and make a smart decision.
God bless.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

If you have this because of hormonal imbalance, it can be treated with Vitex agnus castus (Chaste Tree Berry). Surgery or cutterage (D & C) can sometimes prolong the healing or even make it worse. To reduce pus formation & strengthen resistance, Echinacea Root extract. To stop bleeding between periods, Raspberry Leaf tea. To repair mucous membrane & fight infection, Goldenseal Root capsules for 10-14 days. Douche with Cedar Leaf tea or Raspberry Leaf tea, lukewarm.

You really need to read "Endometriosis Bible & Violet Protocol" by Zoe Brown (also available in electronic format here: http://www.endometriosisbible.info ). It's about how to eradicate endometriosis disease forever. It worked for me, you will see results in only a matter of weeks. Good Luck!

Wow, God bless you. I understand that Endometriosis can cause you a lot of pain. You should talk to your doctor about taking Danazol. There should be a county hospital near you. Surgery will make everything feel better as well. Try to stay away from things that will increase estrogen thus making it worse.
