Hi Melody:

Welcome to the forum. The support and information here is so awesome!!!

You have had a long struggle with things for sure. This condition is so unique as it affects all of us so differently. What treatments work for some don't work for others. The decision to undergo a hysterectomy is a very difficult and personal one. Before you decide on that route I urge you to research it to be sure that it's the best for you.

With the Doctors you have seen, I am wondering if any of them are endo specialists, if they aren't, search one out who is.

I wish the best for you!!!
