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!
