Toni,
I can sympathize with how frustrating it can be. You are asking, "where
do I go now?" Well, you went to the endo forum for support and ideas,
and that's good. It shows that you are resourceful.
Have you seen an endo specialist?? I can tell you from experience that
there is a HUGE difference between a decent GYN and an endo specialist.
The day after I saw my endo specialist for the first time, when I woke
up and looked around, the world actually seemed to be a brighter place.
It has made all the difference, even though there are still lots of
unknowns out there.
Hang in there,
-Anna
