I have found that it is very difficult for anyone without endo including my Dr to understand how much pain and suffering is involved. I pray you can find a Dr who will listen and take some action. I too am waiting to see a specialist and have an apt on Jan 8, 2007. I can relate to the agony you are in. The disappointment you must be feeling after your last apt is so sad. I live in Canada and our health care system is a bit different here. I truly hope you can find someone in your life to confide in. Having a shoulder to cry on is not pain relief but it does help. If not this board is a lifesaver to. If you need someone to talk to ever feel free to e-mail me. kellijeanmck@hotmail.com Maybe it will help just to vent a bit..I don't mind. Hang in there. Take care,
