Monthly pain may be from endrometriosis

“In light of March being Endometriosis Awareness Month, I wanted to share my experiences,” wrote a woman named Lyn from Kansas on www.fightlikeagirlclub.com.

“I have struggled with painful periods and heavy bleeding since I started menstruating at age 12. Now, almost 31, I have developed a very high tolerance for pain. It was about a year and a half ago when the pain began escalating to a point where it was becoming unbearable.

I had to call in to work several times. For fear of losing my job altogether, I voluntarily reduced my hours since I felt like I could handle short days, even on the days I was in pain.”
