Nancy,
Wow, you sure have had a hard time. I am so sorry to hear of this! I
can not tell you a lot about all the medical problems, but I do know
that endo can attack the immune system and can possibly cause some other
illnesses. I know stress can lead to a lot of sickness, but if you do
have endo it only makes it worse. I can understand how losing a loved
one effects your health. I've been there done that. Everyone tells you
that you need to take care of yourself, but it just isn't that easy, is
it? I lost my son at 6 hours old, so I do sympathize with you. As far
as what you should say to your new doc. Be firm, strong and don't take
no for an answer. I learned that when my son was so sick. I wished I
had been a bit more firm. The only way things will get done is if you
force them to. Some doctors are better at handling that then others. I
haven't always had good luck with that, but I have learned what I should
do. I don't take my own advice sometimes, but I have had a hard time
trusting and believing doctors. Trust me, there are good ones out
there, you just have to find them. I will pray for you that you can get
some answers this time. Take care of yourself.
Hugs~
Lori
