It actually sounds like your husband is not taking your illness serious enough and doesn't understand that you are indeed in lots of pain! Sometimes hubbys are very ignorant about endo, I know, my husband was like that for a very long time.

I think you need to educate him and let him know that this is a real illness, and you are in a lot of pain! I just don't know what to tell you about having children though. Does your husband really want children?

It took me a long time to finally be taken seriously about what kind of pain I was going through. Finally was believed when the doctor told my husband that I would need blood transfusions during surgery, which I didn't let them give me anyway. I was checked, and the doctor just thought it was spots of endo. When another doctor finally talked me into having surgery, I found out it was much more than just endo, that it had actually went through the wall of my uterus.

I took pain pills, like lortabs, and even demeral, which did not help the pain! I got to where I would just take about 5 or 6 Ibprofen for the pain. It kind of took the edge off of the pain more than the pain pills.

Do you also have a lot of bleeding? Seems like there are times when the pain is worse. I had my surgery in 1996, so I have been free of that pain for a long time.

I really do feel for you, I know there are others that are probably having the problem right now, it has been a pretty good while for me, thank god!
