Does this sound like endo

Since I was about 14 I had severe periods lasting 7-10 days and the pain was so horrific I would be doubled over then vomiting, pretty much pass out every month. This pain has always been on my right side
I had kids and it got better.
It’s now returned worse than ever, I’m in daily pain now and the vomiting / pain comes again.
The pain is almost identical to labour contractions and then I break into a hot sweat and go clammy and pass out.
I’ve had a hysteroscopy as I went through the menopause young and am now due a laparoscopy.
Does the contraction type pain always on my right sound like endo, I really am nervous about having a laparoscopy in case they find nothing as it’s been going on years

  1. hey sorry i am in the same boat as you im going insane im just trying to find more women to talk to, i never ever met anyone with my symptoms only my mother and my grandma i know im not insane, im not a liar, because my family had it too, they had to be silent and keep going their lives but my grandma doesnt have ovaries now or uterus in their time doctors emptied her but they didnt know anything about this disease, nobody believes my pain is real, but this pain is very real, this is one of the most painful things a human being can experience, i am very confident about this, im here to say it out loud, next thing is manifestations , we need to say something, this is not normal, we are second class citizens... when i was 9 i broke my leg, i didnt feel anything, i know for sure i have a very high pain tolerance, i know what im saying please keep fighting
