Hey, yikes, I know your story all too well.  My last OB said that since I had
already had a lap and been on Lupron that there was nothing more he could do.
He too sais that my pain was surely do to IBS, NOT endo.  I had already had a colonoscopy
and it was clean.  He did not take me or my pain seriously.  I really felt like giving
up.  I found the nerve to go to one more Dr.  He is great.  As I siad in
my post, he removed adhesions from all around my bowels.  So much for IBS!!!!
There is a Dr. there who will listen.  I couldn't believe my ears when
I heard a Dr. say, yes, I'm sure that is from the endo.  He did not doubt
my pain, make me feel crazy, or pressure me into treatments.  Please hang in
there.  I know exactly how you feel.  Keep fighting....Take care,
Kelly Ann
