Thank you i was just thinking this same thing about the endo getting worse or being caused by my tubal. I have been complaining for years about my cramps but everyone said that cramping gets worse with age. But thankfully i got a doctor that recently looked deeper into my cramps and periods. I am hoping to put and end to it soon my doctor and i are going to sit down on wednesday and discuss treatment plans. I am getting nervous i dont know what to expect from that appointment. But i am so glad that i am not alone in all my thoughts. Thank you guys for being my sanity.
