As I said before I was diagnosed with stage 3 endo about 3 years ago. I had been having alot of pain, brown discharge, and heavy periods. I first had an ultrasound where they found a large cysts that was worrysome to the Dr, so he decided to give me the ca-125 cancer blood test which in turn came up high. Well, I was terrified even though he mentioned that it was very possible that I had endo. Well, he wanted me to have the lap to be sure and it showed endo. At the time I was relieved and I still do feel greatful it wasn't more. Now however, I am having some symptoms that are concerning me. I'm having alot of stomach troubles(IBS) and heavier than usual periods AGAIN. I am so frustrated that noone seems to believe me when I try to explain how bad I feel. I'm scared it is getting bad again, but I am also scared that it could be something more. My Dr moved to another state so I have to start over with a new gyn and I just feel so down about it all. The depression is getting me lately, because I don't feel I have anyone who gets how I feel. I'm sorry to go on and on. I'm just needing to vent.

I am having similar problems. This period has been particularly bad as far as my stomach and usual period symptoms go. The Remeron they gave me to help with the stomach problems is failing me and I've bled so much this period and have had extremely large blood clots and stabbing pains in my intestines and rectal area. I see my Dr. tomorrow and I have no idea how to get them to understand that something is seriously wrong. I have been very depressed too the past week since this all started. I feel like I can never get a straight answer from my Dr. It can't be IBS - I've tried every diet/supplement recommended for IBS including all the usual meds they prescribe for it and nothing has helping. It HAS TO BE THE ENDO doing this to me. It sucks feeling like no one understands you and that you have no way to put and end to all the pain. I hope tomorrow I can get them to understand how serious this is getting and how badly I need them to do a lap to find out what is going on inside of me.
I feel your pain, you're not alone. I may not be having the same experience, but I do know how you feel. I'm sure everyone here feels like this at one time or another.

Just knowing someone is there to talk to such as you helps so much. Thankyou so much. I have a Dr appointment Friday. Let me know how yours go and I will do the same. Maybe one of us will get some TRULY good advice and we can pass it on to the other. GOODLUCK!

oh sweetie i feel for you. changing dr's first off sucks, but having very painful heavy periods, i can relate with you with, and it's just plain awful. i don't think anyone realizes the amount of pain iam in, even when i don't hide it, which sometimes i can do very well, but when my labor like contractions come on (my severe IBS), it's just dabillitating, but i have learned to deal with it, and have been since i was a teen and iam 31 now. i just got used to the pain, and thought it was intenstine related, not endo related, but now i really wonder. i haven't gotten the lap yet, that test scares the willies out of me, but i hope you find a great dr and some relief real soon. right now iam living on darvocets which barely help.
GL hugs, michelle
