We asked and you answered! We posted this question: What bits of "advice" do you wish people would stop telling you? and hundreds of you took the time to respond.

Some of the most common answers we heard:

• Can’t you just take Midol?
• It can’t be that bad
• Can’t you just get on hormones?
• Can't you just have another operation?
• Don’t get hooked on pain medication.
• Why don't you have a baby? I heard that helps.
• The pain is all in your head
• Stop thinking about it

Everyone's situation is different and not all of these apply to each person. Tell us: What advice about endometriosis do YOU wish people would stop telling you?
