Ok, so I know my story is not any different than anyone else's on here, but I just need some sympathy/support....

I have been dealing with endo since the age of 17.  I have only had 1 lap, 1 round of lupron, and about 10 different forms of bc to try to regulate/control the pain, in addition to being given percocet so that I could actually go to work on some days when the pain was pretty much crippling...

I have been having problems with my endo since Phillip was 6 weeks old.  Since then I have had my period at least every other week...I should seriously buy stock in tampons!!  Anyway, I have been exclusively bf my son, but this is the only bc Ican use while bf and it is not controlling the bleeding at all!!  My husband is a wonderful man, but I know he's going to complain about the cost of the new meds or the fact that we will now have to buy formula.  He is determined that I will be sahm, but we are staying with my parents temporarily due to financial reasons...sooo...one would think that with all this going on he'd at least agree to me working part time.  Not the case so far!!  Anyway, I have to talk to him about all this today...so wish me luck!  He never seems to understand how much endo affects my life and that I can't just suck it up.  ERRR!! Stress is horrible!!! Thanks for "listening"  :)
