What to do if my mom doesn’t let me take my endometriosis medication?
My mom is the kind of person that thinks everything can be healed naturally. Whenever there’s a prescription of different medication, she’s always hesitant about me taking it and does research on everything before (not always) letting me take it.
I’ve been experiencing severe menstrual pain for 2-3 years. It was so severe that I couldn’t stand up straight or go to school, but my mom forced me to, thinking that I’m just overreacting. Also, she never let me take painkillers as they’re also “not good for me”.
One day, I went to the doctor for a completely different reason, only to find out that I have endometriosis. I’ve been prescribed Endovelle and of course my mom became all weird about it, but it helped my menstrual pain so we decided to try it.
I’ve been on the medication for about 8 months until one day my mom decided that’s we should stop. The next day after I stopped, I started experiencing this INSANE pain again.
I told my mom and asked her if I can start the medication again, she shouted at me and blamed me for being so reliant on synthetic hormones.
It’s been three days since I stopped the medication, I’m currently laying in bed as I’m writing this. I’m crying in pain, it hurts like hell. I can’t do anything about it.
