Seeing a Gyn was not painful for me, you are definitely going to be a little nervous (we all are) but it is important to take the first step and find a good Dr who knows Endo. I am in Australia, so i will not recomend you to my Dr or surgeon. As it's a long way to come... but if you are comfortable sharing your state, there may be someone in here who can personally recomend one. I understand that you are frustrated, in pain & that you have no-one to share your feelings with. Tara suggested recording your symptoms, it's a good place to start, take care & a big hug to you Anon, Sami koala
