First, I'll begin with my health history -

I'm only 20.

Daughter born October 2005
Appendix removed December 2005
Gallbladder removed February 2006
Son born April 2008
Paragard IUC placed inside Mid-May 2008


It all started October 15, 2008, it felt like something shot up from my inner right hip to just under my right rib, and burst! Immediately I was in pain, but only initially. The consistent pain didn't begin until a week later, the 20th of October. My ENTIRE abdomen is in SEVERE pain, on and off, day and night. It hurts so bad, I constantly question whether I'm going to die!? I feel all my lymph nodes in my abdomen, they are very swollen. I also have been getting headaches and the chills (especially centralized within my abdominal area). I've been told so many different things and put on 4 different types of antibiotics (within the last 3 weeks), which I took all as directed.

I got admitted into a hospital because I came into the emergency room with chronic abdominal pain, nausea (couldn't keep anything down), and I had lost 10 lbs within 2 days (they gave me antibiotics, pain meds, an ultrasound, and a CT Scan - both only showed swollen lymph nodes in my abdomen) They said it was a Lymphatic infection. The doctor I saw in the hospital referred me to an OB, who removed my IUC (aka an IUD), he said I had a Uterine Infection, Cervacitis, Vagicitis.

I've also been told I have Endometriosis. All I want is an answer as to what's wrong inside my body. I've been through so much BS, and pain... I'm just not sure what to do anymore. They act as if it's no big deal, and I should always be in this much pain! This is not normal! I weighed 152 lbs. before the pain, I'm now 136 lbs, if that has any significance at all.

Any advice, comments, or help coping would be very much appreciated!! =)
