Hi D Thanks for the reply. I had a lap a few months back that did diagnose me with endo. They removed a large endometriomas and now there's another growing. I can't do bcps due to migranes. I last saw my GYN like 2 to 3 months ago and have an appt in June. I have pain at all times, but of course is much worse at time for and duriing my period. I went to see an GI doc and he suggested that I have a colonoscopy due to my hemoglobin being low and the bowels issues. They have improved though. I'm just scared to go. Thankyoi for the suggestion of keepiing a journal of pain etc. At Wed, 2 May 2007, D wrote: >
