My heart goes out to you both. Could you please tell me what your symptoms were that led to the diagnosis of the endo and your intestines? I have been dealing with horrible pain for years and years and was finally diaganosed with endo last year. However, during two laps i was told that a portion of my small intestine was enlarged and swollen due to my crohn's disease and that it had adhered to my ligaments. My problem is then why does it only flair up at the time my period is supposed to start and then last from one to two or more weeks? I also go through period of rectal blood loss and had to have blood transfusions last year because of it. I am in so much pain and I can't find anyone that will help me, they always refer me to someone else. I am at a loss. Just thought I would find out more about your condition. Thanks so much.
