hi there mumszword,
i'm so glad you have a diagnosis and are now on your way to getting sorted out. i am still waiting for one myself and have been brushed off also as just having normal womens prob's since i was 22, i am now 27. I am just hoping my insides aren't in a mess when i finally get seen to if they discover endo. anyway, it's a shame more doctors aren't aware more of endo and we could get this looked into earlier, as it seems there are lots of women in our situation..
good luck with your surgery..
