I am 17 years old and I have the exact same symptoms
as you have described. One symptom I have that I did
not read in your letter is lack of sleep and difficulty
waking up once I do finally do get to sleep. I am
very skeptical because my doctor suggested a hysterectomy
and everyone I have discussed my problems with says
I am too young. The only medications I have received
is Naproxen for the pain and Birth Control to regulate
my period, that started getting irregular about the
same time the pains in my side started. My pain is in
my side just like you described, but a lot of times
it hurts all the way down my right leg also, almost
as if my muscles are extremely tight. I do not think
I am helping you out in your investigation, I am
just so relieved to know that it is not just in my
mind and that there are other people out there with
the same symptoms that I have and do not know what
is the cause. Thank you very much for your time
and I hope you find a cure for our problem.
