The whole point in my coming to this site was to talk with other women who may also be in pain, both physically and emotionally. I actuaully am interested in what is happening to the rest of you women, who are thousands of miles away from me,and yes I do care about what is happening in the next room. I am 22, I have only known about Endometriosis for a very short time now, and I am scared. I am scared because I am intensly nervous about the laparoscopy, it is my first one. A few people that I have talked to say they don't think it will be that bad. For those of you that have gone through this already, what should I really expect? Is it as simple as people are trying to lead me to believe, because I am not so sure. The whole thing is so new to me, and so scary. At Thu, 7 Apr 2005, anonymous wrote: >
