Nita, Hi there. I know your doc was an ass, but please don't let that experience back you off from going to another american doc, their not all like that.. I don't want to u[pset you and i am nothing like what i'm going to say, but what is your nationality? Are you foreign to this country? Again, its not my beliefs, and it might not have been that doc's intentions, but he might have brushed you off and everything just because of that reason.. He might've thought because your not from the U.S. that maybe you did'nt know much of what he was explainig to you, or i should say lack of explanation.hehe.. Again he is only an exception of what 2/3 of the doc's are like.. Most of the doc's that there are, are different from him.. At least that i've come accross. I've only comew accross one idiot doc, unlike alot of the girls, who have had bad experiences with doc's.. Like Lupron, i would think Danazol would wear off, getting your period back anyway, within 3-4 months.. If its not back within 6 months, definately get a hold of a doc, and find out why..You do need to get a new doc before your symptoms act up again though.. Especially before its too late.. I know what you mean about gettting too personal online, unless i know alot about someone, i usually dont either.. But i've been with the group for about a year now, so i feel comfy talking about anything with most of them.. I do love to help and cousel as much as i can.. I've had alot of rexperience and researched alot of things, not only endo.. I've been through alot, from endo to arthitis, and so on.. I might even need to have knee surgery again soon too.. I've had a cyst on my right knee for a while, i had surgery once, which i thought they were supposed to remove it, and mend a torn meniscus, but they did'nt, so i'm still having problems with that, which when they drained the cyst, i don't think they ever sent it to pathology to find out what kind of cyst it is, dermoid, endo, etc. Ya know..? Who knows if its a cyst that could connected with my endo? If it is, then they should do something about it, dont you think? Well, i'm rambling like theres no tommorrow..lol.. So i guess i will get going..
