My doctor and I suspect I might have endo, but are not sure. I get really painful period cramps, but not a lot of the other symptoms of endo. I was put on the pill when I was 16 because I would miss days of school because I couldn't sit through class. I'm 36 now and have been getting through, but I am pushing through a lot of pain a lot of the time. I just have no frame of reference for what is a normal amount of pain for period cramps and how much pain would be reasonable to suspect endo?

My doctor suggested I try Orlissa to see if it helps me, but I'm really afraid of the side effects. I've seen very polarizing opinions, and it looks like it could either totally change my life or make things way worse. I just don't know how to gauge if it's worth the gamble.

Thanks for any advice!
