Find a new doctor! That's the first step! If you've already had everything else removed, what is their reasoning for not taking out the other one when you're in so much pain!?
I first found out I had endo!. when I was 14!. I had a hysterectomy when I was about 26 (I'm 31)!. My doctor didn't want to do the surgery b/c I was so young, and only had one child!. But I had just gotten a divorce, and there was no way I was going to just get pg!. to make the doc feel better!. Also, I didn't (and still don't) want anymore kids!.
I completely understand your lack of sex drive!. Endo!. takes away your energy for everything!. It makes you sick--lots of ppl don't understand that! I used to get a lot of flack when I had to call off work the first couple of days of my prd!. That is, until I would force myself to go, and the mgmt!. could see what I was going through!.
'Course, it's different for you since you don't have a prd anymore, but your man should be a little more understanding! You should find him a pamphlet about it!. I used to carry some with me (I took 'em from my doc!. office), and give 'em to ppl when they acted like I was crazy for crying when I started or whatever!. A little education can go a long way!
