I'm really sorry that you're in pain. I'm sorry the best we've been able to come up with for pain management treatment on the market is so expensive. That's the American "medical system" for you. Getting drugs developed, tested, and on the market is a huge, complicated undertaking. It shouldn't be dismissed because some Chief Greedy Officer decided they needed a bigger paycheck.
Whether it's "progress" over an OTC pain-relief combination that occasionally kills people is another question, but I'm waiting for a professional opinion on the drugs' benefits vs their side effect profiles, so I'm not gonna say anything about it.
Those are just two on-the-market drugs from one paper, not all the papers I found. There's over 8,700 papers on endometriosis treatment in the last ten years, of which 1,800 are review articles of one sort or another. It seems people are very actively trying to study and treat your disease.
For some reason, I've become very sensitive to people who just make up facts. So the difference between 8,700 papers and two drugs, however flawed, and jack shit, no studies, and no developments gets on my nerves. Your misrepresentation of all that effort has set off another round of misguided misandry. That's just pissing me off.
So, could you try something like the truth: the drugs have too many drawbacks for you to take them, but it's not for want of trying? Thanks!
