Toni, I was reading Chris' response to you and I like what she said. My GYN will absolutely not do anything if it does not involve the female organs. When I started having trouble with rectal bleeding he told me to go to my pcp for a referal to a GI dr. even though I thought it could be Endo related. When I asked about anti-depressants he also sent me to my pcp. Because of law suits and such most drs. will not treat anything that is out of their practice field. Do you go to a GI specialist? I don't remember from you previous posts. You can also ask your pcp for a referal to a Chiropractor. I went to a Chiropractor three times and he told me things from my back x-ray that I did not know which answered some of my questions about my back pain, I have a deformity in the lowest vertibrae in my back on the left side it rubs against the top of my pelvic bone. He also did some treatments to my Scyiatic Nerve which helped the first two times but the third visit it started hurting worse so I didn't go anymore. I probably will not ever go to a Chiropractor again but I'm glad I did go and learned about my back problem. As far as the Pain Clinic I can't speak for because I have never been before but if you have only been one time I would definatly give it another chance. Most specialty clinic's are very busy and you have to remember you are not their only patient. My daughter has Brain Cancer and when she was first diagnosed I would get so mad at her different drs. because I felt like they didn't care and that they were avoiding me. The truth was, unfortunately, there are boat loads of Pediatric Cancer Patients and the drs. are usually overloaded. So you have to be patient. I know that when you are in pain it is very hard to be patient because you want it to be over. I remember being up hours at night with my daughter screaming in pain and the drs. would take forever to call me back and I would get so angry. I have learned to deal with it though. Even though this is a support group in itslelf, do you have an Endo support group in your area that meets in person. Sometimes being one on one with people that suffer from the same thing you do helps. I attend a support group once a month for parents of Pediatric Cancer patients and it helps a great deal. Sometimes just getting a hug from someone that understands helps (here's a big hug for ya <-?->). I don't really know what else to say but I hope this helps. Hang in there! Chrissy
