I feel that you should get more opinions on your health. Laparoscopy is the only way to diagnose endo and while in there, they can also get rid of some of it. If you don't have the lap done, you may be getting treated for something you don't have. I would definitely check it out. I myself will not begin a drug treatment for something if they only assume that I might have it. Better safe than sorry!
