I'm a 45yr old mother of 5 that suffers from endometriosis. I was diagnosed with endo in my early 20s and was already in stage 2 of it. Drs told me I would never have kids. The worst thing a women could of ever hear. I was fortunate enough to birth 3 lovely children, and ended up adopting 2 others.

I'm now in the 4th stages of this illness and doctors are wanting to do a full hysterectomy. A year ago in April I found out that my 15yr old daughter is in the late first stages of endo. She went through a year in a half of pain before we finally found it.

I am just glad that there is support out there for women that are suffering this illness. It is a horrible thing we have to go through and it is hard to explain to people that don't have it. I just want to say to all you women and young ladies out there that are suffering from this, you all are strong women and my prayers go out to you.
