Hello CH sister! Yes we are rare, but like you I am female and under 40 and have been dealing with these demons for about 15 years. I got my first attack before I was 20. The doctors didn't know what it was at first, but after about 2 more cycles, they gave me the diagnosis. Keep trying new docs until one will listen! I am really fortunate to have found a family doctor who diagnosed and treats me. I know there are more like him out there. Good luck in your search and as always a wish for being pain free!
