Hello, my name is Yvette and I was diagnosed with endometriosis in Jan 2009 after five years of being in and out of hospital and being told that there was nothing wrong with me and that the pain was all in my head and also transferred to a psychiatrist because it was all in my head.

So after a period of time I went back to my GP and asked to be referred to a different consultant because I was so sick and tired of being made to feel like I was losing my marbles. I went to see a new consultant at a different hospital who told me that they were going to do another Laparoscopy, bearing in mind I had already had three prior to this one done by surgeons who didn't have a clue on what they were looking for but the doctor told me that he knew what he was looking for.

Any way I thought things were finally looking up for me after being told that there was something wrong with me only to going to an appointment just recently to be told that it's not my endometriosis causing my pain.

I'm really fed up now because now they are trying to treat me for my bowels again I feel like I'm back to square one again to more b****y scans and to go and see a pain management team again; I've been through all this before I don't know whether I can go through it all again! I'm in pain everyday.

I've stopped taking my pain killers because nothing seems to take the pain away, I sometimes have to crawl on my hands and knees because I can't walk with the pain I feel so down and depressed if anyone could please give me some advice I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
