Do I have endometriosis?

I have been having so many issues for the past couple years from bleeding every couple months to extreme pain and many more. The worse of it came this past June when I woke up throwing up and not being able to move. I went to the emergency room and they did a cat scan and said I had a cyst burst and to follow up with my gynecologist. So I did and my Gyno said no there wasn't a cyst and gave me a depo shot which caused me to just bleed constantly. So I went and got a second opinion because I had called my doctor and they said "every thing is normal for a person your age" I'm 31. So I have had ultrasounds and blood work now. I have been sent to a kidney Doctor, a colon Doctor they all said it sounds like u have endometriosis. So the new Gyno I went to finally decided to a laproscope to see what he could see. When I came out he said he removed some fiborius tissue but he doesn't think it's endo. Then he said if I have more pain after this I should go see a chronic pain specialist. I just want to feel better not just be given pain medicine. At this point I'm still bleeding sometimes red sometimes brown. I'm losing my hair, having hot flashes, always tired, I have pain on my left pelvic area sometimes a stabbing pain other times just a dull ache. I don't have an appetite anymore and I'm losing weight. I go back to my doctor on Friday for a follow up to my laproscope that I had done but I'm not sure what to do. Could it be endometriosis or is it a hormone issue?

    Sounds similar to what I went thru and it was endometriosis. I was also told at first everything is normal. What I figured out was to be more pushy such as when I had to go to the hospital for my pain I first contacted ob/gyne then my primary every time I went in also kept a journal. Some Things that helped was a change of diet also heat pad to my abdomen and hot bath. Hope everything turns out ok!
