-- Amanda, I am sorry that you are going through this. I went through the same thing. Don't give up. Please find a good gyn who specializes in endo to help you. Don't be afraid to let your providers know you are in pain. Do not let them put you on pain meds and forget about you. Don't settle for any excuse they may give you- like take some tylenol. Keep pushing forward and searching for a doc to treat you. Your pain is real and since it's real, there is something going on inside your body. Take care
