I was at school when i was 13. My cycle started and the cramps also started. The cramps started getting more and more painful. And there I was sitting in class and one cramp hit so hard that I threw up and the nurse sent me home. Little did I know that this will be the beginning of a long and hard battle with Endometriosis (endo).
Almost every month I will have to stay home the first couple of days of my cycle because of fear that I would throw up or pass out because of the severe pain. I went to different doctors but none of them knew what was wrong with me.
My mom was the type of mom that did not really explain to me the female anatomy and how cycles were supposed to be. So I just thought that my pain was normal. And for the next few years, pain killers and heating pads became my new best friends.
