Sherry,
You mention trouble with urination...you might want to take a look at
the symptoms of IC, interstitial cystitsis, because it's another common
disease that can cause hormonally mediated extreme pain, esp. right
above the pubic bone.
And, really, I can only wish that I had been more persistant with the
doctors I saw years ago. They told me it was just cramps and I was a
wimp or it was in my head even though I was basically knocked out two
days a month. I sucked it up till I was knocked out more than 20 days a
month and now I'm facing work-ups for other auto-immune diseases. If
you have endo, I strongly recommend getting it cut out by a specialist
as soon as possible.
