Shana,
I'm sorry that you were put through so much pain. As for the question
that you asked about checking for an endo specialist in your area, you
mentioned Seattle so maybe you might want to check at the University of
Washington School of Medicine. I think that they have a Reproductive
Endocrinology department there. I don't live there, but I have heard
of the Medical School there in Seattle. I hope that this helps you
out. Please feel free to e-mail me if you ever need to talk about
anything. Hang in there, and know that we are all here for you any
time.
Kristy :)
