Re: Question about my symptoms

Your situation sounds similar to mine. It took 17 years for me to be diagnosed. I've only had one surgery for endo, and my symptoms were getting severe again. In November I went to a new OBGYN, she told me my only options are Lupron or surgery. I choose not to take Lupron, and I opted for surgery. She referred me to a General Surgeon, GI, and Urologist. The Urologist was the only doctor that thought my problems were due to Endo. Then my OBGYN wouldn't even back me up. Like you I've done extensive reading on Endo, and KNOW my bowel problems are due to Endo. I threw in the towel with all my doctors, and had a consultation with one of the best. This doctor immediately confirmed nodularity of the anterior rectum, posterior vagina, and left uterosacral ligament. I decided to have surgery with him. I haven't had surgery with him yet, from what I understand I should feel better immediately after surgery. I was actually scheduled to have surgery with him at the end of May, but my insurance company denied my surgery the evening before I suppose to have it - I went through the bowel prep and everything. He appealed for me, and of course I appealed. I believe everything will work out. To make a long story short, find another doctor, preferably an endo specialist.
