I can totally understand what you are going through. I went to a supposed specialist for endo, on my last visit he had my mom and me crying hysterical. He told me that there is nothing wrong with me that he lasered all of the endo. The only advice i can give you is to go to a different doctor everyday until you find the one that's right for you. >
