Question:

Endometriosis Question...any help will be greatly appreciated?

I'm 22 years old and i've had endometriosis for about 10 years. Unfortunatly, every doctor that i saw said that i was exaggerating and i wasnt diagnosed and treated until i was 17. I had a laparoscopy shortly after i graduated high school. After the surgery, my doctor relocated to cleavland (i live in atlanta) and period was very irregular. I woudnt have one for months at a time. I began having hot flashes which got worse as time went on...i passed out in my dorm room once because i was overheated. I am still having problems finding a doctor who will take me seriously and i want to fix the problem. My life is affected by this every day. It's been a little over a year since i had my last period and after doing some research, i'm starting to think that i'm going through menopause. I have all of the symptoms and i'm really afraid of how it will change my life. What if i get married and want to have children one day?...I just need some advice, information, or inspiration at this point.

Two of the best Endo specialists in the country are right in Atlanta - www.centerforendo.com. Worth at least a visit to talk to them; they also review cases for free. Check their site for details.
