I Am Beginning to Think I have Endo

Over the last four motns, I have been to the ER over 10 times, for the exact same symptoms. LLQ pain, or lower left quadrant; diarrhea, nausea, bowel movement that when I went, even though it was diarrhea, I felt like I was givjng birth. Originally, I was given the diagnosis of infections colitis. Here, take these antibiotics. They overlooked my pelvic history of ovarian cysts, surgery, and retroverted uterus. Another trip, and now it is IBS. Take these antibiotics. Again previous hystory overlooked. The last time, I was treated like a hypochondriac and a drug seeker. I found a GL who listened to me, and became my champion. He orered a battery of tests, inckuding a virtual colonoscoy, just to be sure. We checked my parasites in the stool, did bkood work, muktiole CTs, with and withiut contrast. Nothing. While going over the ER reports, he noticed all of this began when my depo shot was failing, after being on it for so long, and I was starting to menstruate a month prior to when I was due. I am now back on the pill, and am in my second ourse. And this last cycle was horrendous. I couln't eat, leave my be or couch. Mu GP is beginning to think I have endimetriosis. I have an appointment on Wednesday. And I am terrified. When they did my cyst surgery, I was told I may never have children, due to scar tissue. Snd then I had my beautiful son, who wil be 9 this month. And with the possibility of endo hanging over my head, I may never have that again. After some reading, I found I have a lot Of the textbook signs, which scares me. so Hopefully I will have an update soon.
