Tracie -- Do you only have endo? ONLY..ha ha, well you know what I mean, have you been diagnosed as having anything other than endo? I ask this because I have many other problems, many of them are like the things that you mentioned. But, I also have fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue syndrome and generally relate those symptoms to the fibro. But, generally, with any condition or disease that weakens your immune system, you're bound to get sick more often. Along those same lines, you're also more likely to have other immune system troubles (like fibro) along with the endo. 1 thing that I have is year round allergies, I always carry tissues with me and people always ask if I have a cold. That's just 1 of many symptoms I have... If you have any other questions about fibro, let me know, I've had it years longer than I've had endo, so I know a lot about it -- also, you can google fibromyalgia symptoms and get some good info as well. I don't know if any of that helped...good luck to you. Jennifer A. {by the way, my fibro started out with me always being nauseaus}
