Drs confusing me

Hi I'm new to this site and im hoping to find some help I have had stupidly bad pain since I was 15 and been on all sorts of medication. I've had 3 laps the first one didn't find anything second found endometriosis and the third one found scar tissue. I've done all sorts to try and stop my pain. I was told by a doctor recently that I don't have endometriosis but my understanding is that it stays with you for a lifetime (at the moment) and she didn't really get what I was saying. I'm lost as my doctors are useless and the only one I trust is privately. How do I treat myself when I don't know what I've got?

I got my notes last year after some confusion and the second lap showed endo in the pouch of Douglas? But I wasn't told which stage think it was just mild but I want to be able to treat not do nothing x
