"So I was at least aware now of the enemy I battled. I researched everything about endometriosis to become a better advocate for myself. I had realized by now that not all doctors are created equal. I tried many different birth control pills, doubling doses, herbs, fish oil, changing my diet, exercise, to no avail. I also tried Cymbalta which helped to keep the daily pain at a more manageable level. Finally in 2013 I found a specialist in Ft. Collins willing to do a laparoscopic surgery and he removed all of my lesions, even the ones on my bladder and ureter!"
