God bless you. An ex-girlfriend of mine had endometriosis. I cared for her in the weeks after her surgery.

Unfortunately, misdiagnosis or lack of diagnosis is way too common in allopathic medicine. I've come to learn when I need to consult another doctor or two or three.

This may be on the fringe, but when it comes to auto-immune disease (endometriosis is not currently classified as one but is associated with them), I recommend the work of Gabor Mate, especially his recent book, _The Myth of Normal_. It wasn't until I established firm boundaries with people, even cutting a lot of friends and family out of my life, that my sarcoidosis went into total remission. Coincidence? maybe.
