I would also like to comment, with all due respect to Deborah Ross, that endometriosis "hitting most women in their 30's and 40's" seems a little misleading to me, even if the source seems respectable.
From what I have read over the years, I believe it is diagnosed in the 30's and 40's.
If I were on this site to get info as a teen or 20-year-old with severe cramps, I might think that my instinct about having endo is wrong after reading that sentence.
The truth is that many teens have it. I did.
But it usually goes undiagnosed for an average of ten years.
And that's why it "hits" in the 30s and 40s.
So, I'm not very pleased to read that here. Again, with due respect.
