Finding the right doctor

Hi all. I am new to this group. I have read so many of your posts and have had my eyes opened.. I was diagnosed 10 years ago. It took 18 years to detect. I had a few ops and knew I would always suffer so basically just ignored it and tried to get on with my life. However this last 4 months I am really suffering. I finally went back to the doctors not realising that how I was feeling was typical of endo. I have no energy and feel fed up with fighting. After reading all your stories I want to take back my control..

Does anyone know how I go about finding a doctor who understands endo.?? I am fed up of being treated for other things!

Thanks for all your help So far..
