Where it all started

We all have a story. If you don't you have nothing to base how you want your life to be in the future. I have many stories to make up my life but one story that keeps on wanting to tell its tale is my Endometriosis.
I first felt as though there was something wrong when I was in high school. I want to say that I was about 15 yrs old. I am now 31. Now doing the math I have been dealing with this for over half my life. Geez that sucks. Going back to 15yrs old. I was having problems between my menstrual cycle. Lots of pain. I went to go see my gynecologist and an ultrasound was done. I was diagnosed with having a right fallopian tube that was twisted. The pain I was told was from the egg making its way through the twist in the tube. Around this time I was diagnosed with Irritable bowel syndrome and also through my high school years had Mononucleosis twice. Who knew you could get that twice. Needless to say the twisted ovary paled in comparison to how sick I was. The pain came and went and I was okay with that.
