Hi, STeph, You are right...you need to see a endo specialist. I believe there is a Dr. Cook in CA that is highly recommended. He's listed on the endo doctors on one of the endometriosis websites. I live in IL and am going to the Center for Endo Care in Atlanta GA to see Dr. Ken Sinervo. I have heard good things of him as well. I am hoping that insurance won't be a big issue. Good Luck!! I wish you Well!!
