Sandy,
I had terrible cramps that started as cyclical, but then became a daily
occurence. Pain that went down the inside of my thighs, painful
intercourse, and a bunch of other stuff. If you check out the Endo
Website on OBGYN.net, you can get all of the information on
Endometriosis.
Hope this helps.
