Oof, so close but so far

They can be told it so bluntly and they still are so close yet so far from understanding. It's absolutely fascinating to watch. (-Ruien/Rusi)

Our grandmother said we're too young to have Endometriosis??

So I'll start this off with we're bodily a 19yo AFAB system. We've been showing endo signs for years and last night someone in a gc brought it up, since we were venting about pain, and we finally decided to research it a bit more again. We made the mistake of telling our grandmother about our symptoms and she looked us dead in the eyes and said "You're too young to have endometriosis." In a serious way. Come to find out from our father this morning that our mother had endo. I don't even know what to do with this information or how to go about any of this. We've researched symptoms, signs, things similar to it or often mistaken as that, and everything leads back to that. How do I even tell people I want to get tested? Our father made a joke of taking us to the hospital to get diagnosed like our mother, but I don't know if he'll ever actually do that or how long we'll actually be there.

I, also, genuinely don't understand how our grandmother thinks endo works. She never said anything beyond "You're too young to have endometriosis" regarding it, yet anyone of any age can have it if I remember correctly. It's so confusing? (-Ruien/Rusi)
