I know exactly how you feel! It took me 11 doctors to find the right one
to help me. Most of them don't care, won't listen to you, want to do
useless, expensive tests or make you take expensive meds that don't help
either. My doc told me that a woman with endo usually sees around 8
doctors and goes 10 years without the proper help. That is so true!
If you don't like either of those doctors, keep pushing on and go to
another one. Your health is worth fighting for! Try to find a pelvic
pain specialist, that is who I go to. He is great help, as is my
general practitioner, who got me started on the natural progesterone
that relieved over 15 nasty estrogen dominance symptoms I was having! I
know it's sooo frustrating and tiring, but you must keep searching for
the right doctor. Getting my hormones balanced was a good start in my
endo fight, now I need to have excision. Since straightening out my
insurance problem has taken forever, I think I will wait until after the
holidays now to schedule my surgery - (I wanted to have it all over with
by mid summer)
Don't settle for a doctor whose bedside manner you don't totally feel
comfortable with or their treatments.
I want to see if your case is similar to mine. Please read my July 7th
post on the cause of endo. See if you have those symptoms. If so,
getting your hormones balanced would also help you tremendously, make
you feel healthier, more energized. It does not cure endo, but
progesterone does relieve so many unbearable symptoms. Take care & hope
to hear from you soon, (e-mail me too if you want)
