Candace,
Wow, I am so sorry. Nothing is more frustrating then having doctors
ignore your pain and not look into what you are concerned about. I have
been there and done that. Unfortunately I think my decision and the
move I have made was a bit drastic. I quit seeing a doctor all
together. Maybe not a smart move, but they kept tossing me around and I
kept getting bills and now I am in financial trouble. I know maybe I
should see a doctor, but for some reason I just can't. I don't suggest
to you that you shouldn't seek medical attention. It is important, but
maybe just to find a good doc (it is hard to do) I am so sorry that you
are battling pain. In my experience, I believe that endo. might
antagonize more things. I think we are more prone to other diseases and
illnesses. OUr body just can't fight them all off. Our immunes systems
just suck. (pardon my words there)
I live with pain almost daily and my periods are horrible. I haven't
seen a doc for my pain for over 5 years. Yikes!
I don't have many words of wisdom, but I have sympathy and I support
you! YOu take care of yourself. I am sending thoughts your way for a
sunny day!
HUgs~`
