Wow. Glad to hear you're seeing a different doctor. You definitely need to see someone who takes pelvic pain seriously. Is there any way for you to find out if there is a doctor who treats a lot of endo in your area? I know the endometriosis association maintains a list, but you have to pay membership dues to get it. There's also a list by state here: http://www.geocities.com/endovictims/endodocs.html. Of course, if you're not in the States, it won't help you. Good luck!
