Stay on your bandwagon Michele!!! We need to start screaming for endo specialists. There reproductive, cancer, etc. etc. Endo is so common. There are at least 12 message boards that I know of. I still don't understand why this is not a national issue....yes, I do...I forgot...the media gives us doodly squat for attention. Now on the heels of this cybercondriac story (internet hypocondriacs) diagnosing themselves with the web, we might have more women visiting endo sites going to the doctor and not being believed.
