Another wonderful organization for information on endometriosis is the Endometriosis Association. Their website is at http://www.endometriosisassn.org/ I have been a member for 18 of the 20 years the organization has been in existence. The association was started by and is still directed by women who have endometriosis. Mary Lou Ballweg, its cofounder and director, is recognized by many physicians in the United States for her outstanding achievement in helping women who have endometriosis. I encourage all of you to check out the website. As a woman with endo, I can vouch for how great a help this organization has been to me, and would be glad to answer questions. Thanks.
