I too have had no luck with teatments. But cbc is the only thing that has made me feel more human than most things. I have been on 5 different birth contol pills, and finally I have found one that works for me, I still have some pain but it is less and less often. And I do have some side effects, but they are a lot easier to deal with than the endo. I suggest trying different pills, it takes about 2.5 months on a pill until you really know, but it maybe worth trying. There are tons of different kinds of birth control pills, you just need to find one that works for you. They may not make you feel all better, but it may make you feel better than you feel know. Best of luck to you.
