Selisa:
I also feel that doctors don't believe me because they don't try to
suggest anything and they just stare at me and then move on without
comment. My present gynecologist told me that "it would shock her if
that pain was a result of endemetriosis and that she would have to see
that one for herself to believe it" Time for a new doctor I guess.
