Hi Celia,
I'd definitely recommend getting prescription for meds advised by your gynaec (painkiller/BC/Visanne/supplements), as well as have non-medical pain management systems in place --electric heating pad/hot water bag, daily yoga/mild exercise regime, nutritious diet, good sleep, etc.

It's great that your college admin is willing to accommodate, but missing out on studies or extra curriculars won't give you a great college experience. So, I'd rather focus on how to manage endo through medical and non-medical ways, and try my best to avoid missing out in the first place.

Good luck at college!

Glad to hear that , that's brilliant very best of luck 💛

Im so sorry that was your experience thats unbelievable 😕. I just spoke with my advisory team and they said they'd try to make a plan incase i had to miss alot of school or anything like that so hopefully that works out

I'm not sure what to suggest really I had lots of days of school/college/work etc in my lifetime it got so unbearable I had to give up my job altogether as was too much to bear in the end, I really do wish I had some positives to share on this but I haven't . I didn't have the luxury of a diagnosis at that time but if I did I would've hoped that would have made my employers etc more understanding towards my situation however unfortunately they were not n would rather make me redundant and swindle me out of redundancy pay also I should have took them to tribunal but was to unwell I genuinely believe they thought because I was young I should be fit and thought I was making it up , I do hope you have a better experience with your education than I did , I still did well in exams but I had to work extra harder and was more stressful due to Endometriosis and days off 💛
