Hi Linda ;-))

I read both your messages, and I really feel for you. My surgeon was the founder of the Endometriosis Foundation Of Victoria in Melbourne. It is complulsory for all his patients to see a counsellor after a consultation with him. I wish more doctors performed this procedure. It made sure I knew exactly what his actions were. They gave me alot of information about the why's and how's.

I take a depression medication, and it keeps me sane when the pain gets bad.

Keep going, because there are doctors out there that know about your condition, don't let any bad apples spoil it for you.

We are all here for you.
