Naturopath Mother

My mom was diagnosed with stage four endo when she was in college and has had 4 lapro surgeries all of which did not help at all. After having my sister and I she had a hysterectomy. Her liver and kidneys are destroyed for pain medication.

I am 23 with horrid endo myself and my mother is refusing to allow me to use her insurance to get lapro even though I’ve seen 4 specialist in my life so far all of which gave me some experimental treatment that didn’t work and recommended surgery which is when we jump ship and see someone new. Now my mom is saying I need to go see a naturopath and get my hormones and diet fixed because surgery is BS.

I have celiac disease, I work out 5 days a week weightlifting, I only eat protein, avoid sugar, I don’t want to visit another Amish doctor so he can tell me to dry scoop bone broth everyday….

I understand my mom had a bad experience with doctors back in the 80/90s but I’m tired of being in fucking pain. I want surgery because even if it doesn’t work then I can give up and just suffer knowing I tried it all.

I am tired and I am in pain all the time. I don’t make enough at my tech job to even move out and now I’m stuck bending my knee to my mom because she doesn’t believe in doctors or science because it let her down years ago.

Period every 1/2 weeks?

For the last few months I have had increased dark spotting after/before my period usually separated by 1/2 weeks. Occasionally fresh blood will appear but not in the same way as during a regular period. Is this something any of you have experienced?

I’ve had dark spotting before but the frequency and also pain that has come along with it make me wonder if internally something has changed and not in a good way.
