Hi,
I have been researching the web in and out for options for treatment or
"cure" for endometriosis.I have adenomyosis(internal endo).
I have been reading about the number of times poor gals have to go thru
laps again and again and the prob just keeps coming back.
Have you considered any other form of treatment/ I am sure you have gone
thru all possibilities with you doc , and hopefully your doc has u an
the right track.But the kind of experiences I have had, just thought the
following links may help you in some way while u r struggling with your
pain and suffering!

Also pls chk out the alternative treatment options on the web while you
tackle this with your doc with your mainstream course of treatment .
Hopefully this may help you in some way.I just feel that there has to be
an end to all this agony and suffering and battling the disease and
getting it back is worse than not getting cured at all ! The emotional
consequences can be so devastting!
But good luck with your treatment and hopefully all of here recover from
this and dont have to suffer again!
