Response for Renee Elliot~ I'm interested in hearing your horror story.(which to me,..is exactly what it probably is) Because having Endo is a nightmare! I'm acually sceduled for a complete Hysterectomy and having some major second thoughts~ My doc. sugested it,..but I'm un-easy. I've heard far too many woman say they still have endo pain after a hysterectomy!! so why do it!? add menopause and God knows what else to your list of symptoms! I think I may just do another 'clean out Lap" instead of the drastic,permenent Hysterectomy~ I'd like to hear what you've been thru :) Thanks Tracey
