Brandy,
I am so sorry that you have to go through that! I have found that some GYN's
that are not real experienced in Endo do not like to handle it. It has
taking me 4 years and 6 doctors to find my "wonder" doctor.
At this point, I would do some research and ask around...that is how I found
my way to the ones that have helped me along the way. More women than I knew
suffered from this horrible disease.
I hope that your quest finds you some pain relief soon!!!
Hugs,
WAnda
