im seeing just a gynecologist, i havnt been able to find an
endometriosis specialist anywhere near me (aus)id like a second opinion,
however i had to wait three months just to have an appointment with the
current specialist, and it will be just as bad everywhere, in another
three months i will be moving to another state, so there isnt much i can
do atm.
as for pain, its really quite bad, the second time wasnt as bad as the
first, but its still enough to keep me from sleeping or moving.
my specialist seems very reluctant to confirm or deny anything. basicly
she gave me slightly stronger pain killers. then when that didnt do
much she put me on a different type of pill, which is where i am atm
