dyk I can't forgive you as I agree and appreciate what you are saying



dyk a year ago I honestly believed there was no way we would not have a definitive answer shortly



dyk I am appreciative of all of the caring doctors and experts who have been involved since but in the 21st century astonished there are no answers



dyk this is why we agreed to the laparascopy surgery as it can show things we could not see with any testing done to date



dyk she is already texting me from the bathroom at school



dyk I just want to pull all of my hair out



dyk I just wish this was over and she could be a normal 12 year old



dyk I am really struggling with it all truth be told

Do you think it is because of Amy's young age that they are hesitent to give you an answer?Or are they honestly at a loss,which is also possible.I would be going crazy without any answers.I know you must be very frustrated.

dyk 18 mos ago I would say age led them to not push so much or order a lot of testing assuming it was too much to put her through AND her body may be more normal with time



dyk by a year ago we switched and got more agressive



dyk now we are literally out of "options" besides repeating tests and seeing if there are changes over time unless we moved on to the surgery



dyk we had considered surgery and decided no for now (my dh and I) before Amy's hospitalization



dyk after that it was a no brainer to move forward with the laparascopy



dyk with how many different doctors have been involved and the amount of time I am certain there is no obvious or even hidden answer that can be uncovered just yet



dyk part of the surgery scare is the #1 thing it may uncover is incurable

If you are thinking endometriosis it will be a shock but it isn't fatal and it is treatable I assume.Although given Amy's age I am sure the treatment options are limited.Plus if it is that you will have an answer,even if the answer is not the greatest and can have other implications down the road.

dyk endometriosis is a strong possibility



dyk the lap is to confirm or rule out that diagnosis



dyk I am thankful since it isn't curable that it isn't fatal and ins't untreatable

It is a very sucky diagnosis for a 12 year old I know,but it isn't fatal and it is something thar with time you and Amy can learn to accept.

dyk without a doubt ANY diagnosis would be easier to move forward with than with not knowing

dyk after her hospitalization and follow up it felt "better" knowing we had a game plan in place



dyk it feels like that may now be all out the window with her bleeding so heavily when she shouldn't be doing anything at all or at worst spotting
