Nelly,
Find a good doctor that will listen to you and take your pain seriously.
I suffered for many years with the doctors telling me it might be
endometriosis. No doctor ever did a laparoscopy on me. I had to have
emergency surgery in October. I had an abscess on my sigmoid colon from
the endo. The doctor said if it had burst, I probably would have died
from sepesis (sp?) So, take your endo and its pain seriously! It is not
all in your head.
Good luck.
