After spending 3k on medical testing and scans (not covered by insurance for whatever reason), I’m still having so much trouble when my cycle starts. They seem to think it’s endo and possibly PCOS, but to test that more would be too much (I was told to have a child and see if that helps, I’m single and still finishing my degree). I’m not wealthy enough to pay to find the answers. I don’t want to have to take crazy amount of medicines to find relief to where I can at least function. Things can’t even touch my abdomen when I’m on or nearing my cycle because it gets so tender. My waistband on my shorts/pants hurt me from the pressure.
No other woman in my life has had this experience. Can anybody weigh in on tips or advice? I can’t work or relax without pain that shakes me and stops me with the waves of it. I’m fine being uncomfortable, but I’m having to stop and breathe through these pains because moving takes my breath away.
