Thank you for the reply. They are looking for Endo or possibly that my
colon has adhered to my bladder or intestines or ovaries. They just
don't have a clue really. I don't beleive that I have had that blood
test. But they have taken so much blood I have no idea what they are
looking for. I have an apponitment with one of my doc's tommorrow,I am
running a fever now,and I think I have some type of infection. Thank
you for the reply and prayer's,it is so appreciated.
