I too have endometriosis. Went for years being misdiagnosed by just about every specialist there was. Then I met my current doc who knew right away what it was. That was about 4 years ago. Did laproscopic surgery to find out just about all my insides were ruined. Endometriosis was on everything. I lost my ovary and fallopian tube at age 29, with no children. That surgery was major and kept me out of work and in bed for 6 weeks. I was in a lot of pain. But, I only cared about feeling better. I had a total of 5 surgeries to "feel better". I had stage 4 endo. I knew the only way I would feel better was to have a hysterectomy. I went to my doctor asking for it and he didn't want to do it. Said he didn't think I was mentally ready for it. I went on to a fertility specialiest, etc. Nothing. I just kept living with the pain. Luckily, I didn't have the hysterectomy because I got pregnant. I know one day I'll have to have it, but right now I haven't had any problems at all so I'm just waiting it out.

I wish you lots of luck and wish there was an easier way for you to have some comfort.
