My GYN diagnosed me with Endotmetriosis a month ago when he did a lap, he found a spot on my fallopian tube (the one I have left) I know I have had it for a while because 3 years ago I had a baseball sized cyst that ruptured and adhesions he had to remove, 6 years ago I had an ectopic pregnancy that I think was related. Right now I have constant burning back pain, leg cramps, chronic fatigue, bloating (yesterday I looked about 5 months pregnant), abdomen pain that starts around my uterus and radiates out - what is throwing the doctors with me is I have a fever on and off pretty much all the time, but I read that this can also be a symptom of the endo, so they give me the antibitotics again and again and they don't do anything. I may head up to PA to see DR. R. Looks like a lot of people recommend him on this site. I appreciate all the help and support on this site. Just having somewhere to vent or to see that you all have the same symptoms has helped me to feel like I am not crazy and that is how the doctors make me feel. Thanks!
