All I can find is some gynaecologists with an interest in endo, not an actual specialist. Also seeking a good GP. willing to move, this is how desperate I am now. fed up being poked around for the last 2 years. I actually feel worse now than I did before I was diagnosed. I am loosing the will to live.

It can be frustrating, especially with the postcode lottery. I am yet to find an endo specialist, infact, i'm still waiting to hear if my consultant will still see me as I have recently moved house and may need to be re-referred to gyno all over again. Be strong Janeybee, we'll figure it out somehow. I'll see what information I can get about Scotland at the Endo info session. Hold tight

I’ve just been to Nuffield hospital (privately) and saw an endo specialist. (There are others too) . I did it because I wasn’t getting anywhere with my own GP. When I phoned I explained what I wanted to find out about and they made an appt with endo specialist. You can pay for the consultation and your consultant will write to your own gp to suggest next steps. (I’m not sure what the rules are here on naming consultants - so I haven’t)

I understand your frustrations- have been going to my gp for more than five years and in the end I suggested it might be endo, but still no help- just told ‘oh that’s very hard to diagnose’. One appt at Nuffield and I was believed and told I can be referred for diagnostic laparoscopy. It’s all a bit overwhelming after such a long haul but glad to get things moving finally. I have a scan this week then will decide what to do next. Good luck! There’s also Ross Hall hospital that have specialist consultants- worth checking both.
