Hi Melony, Re: Suggested Specialists for endometriosis in QLD.

Have you checked out the ECCA website? See http://www.ecca.com.au. THis is an organisation started in Mebourne in 1998 specialising in ENDO !! They have clinics in Brisbane and also the Gold Coast. They have all sorts of assistance there from the endo specialists to nutsitionists, phscyologists, accupunturists, massage etc. They may be able to help you?? I personally havent been there yet but am intending to go soon. I have a question for you (and for anyone else reading this) as I have just been put on zoladex myself after my 2nd laparoscopy in February. THe first month was fine(except for hot flushes and anxiety)but at my 2nd injection, my gyno put me on some add back oestrogen called Livial to assist with bone density. A few days after taking the livial my endo symptoms seemed to return. Im not sure what to do?? Were you given some add back oestrogen aswell?? Did you experience endo type symptoms whilst taking the zoladex?? Any other info on the effects of the zolodex?? Good luck and hope to hear from you or anyone else with advice on zoladex soon. Saskia
