Dear Barb,
I and I'm sure, many others here know just how you feel!
 I was scheduled for a lap. was a little nervous so I went to another Dr. for a sec. opinion, only that Dr. didn't know that. He pretty much came out and said that it was"all in my head"! Needless to say I did go have the lap done and
was relieved to find out there was a mess in there!!(adhesions)I know adhesions are bad but that Dr. made me feel so awful, I was so afraid that it was in my head! Why don't they take us seriously? I've since had to have a hyst.
  I hope everything comes out ok for you! That's the better outcome,trust me.
