How to get the doctors to take me seriously?

[Chara87]

I've suffered with endometriosis since the age of 15. I'm now 30 I've been blessed with 3 children and as soon as i stop breast feeding the pain kicks in. My baby is two now and I'm really suffering every month for close to two weeks. My partner is frustrated with it as am I. Its ruining my life I'm desperate. I've had two laparascopys as it was diagnosed the first time the second time was treatment purposes but they said they didn't see anything that time. I'm suffering wuth my bowels at that time of the month too and the doctor sent me for a colonoscopy. I've got no further and they want to start the off all over again with a gynecologist. Ita bringing me down and affecting every aspect of my life. Please can anyone help me of you've had a similar experience? I don't know what to do anymore. Thank you

don't give up girl. just keep going to doctors, and if you don't like how doctors treat you, then you need to change your doctor...

i usually reed all i can found about my disease.. and write down questions what i should ask doctor...

Probably you should go to gynecologist that works lots with patients that has endometriosis. may gynecologist during vaginal ultrasound, found all my painful spots, that i even didn't know about, because, he said, "endometriosis recurrences are usually in these places".
