Hello out there. I just had surgery today and they told me that my endometriosis has now turned into Adenemyosis. I am in soo much pain but I couldn't sleep so I thought i'd look for info, and I found your blog/forum. You guys are giving me food for thought. My post- surgical consult is in 3 weeks and my doc is supposed to discuss tx then. I have a feeling this isn't going to be good. Hope you all find relief. >>
