Are you saying that the lap didn't bring on any relief from the endo? How long ago was it done? What medications did your doctor have you try afterwards to keep the endo from coming back? What complications are you going through now?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm in the process of getting a diagnosis myself and curious to learn as much as I can.
ETA: I just read another post of yours and I see you had the lap done in September. Wow, I'm really sorry they couldn't get it all! What a shame to have to go through it and not get the relief you were so desperate for. You mentioned it was on/around other organs. Which other organs? Do they think you have the 'colo-rectal' presentation? Would a Gastroenterologist be a better fit to go back in and try to remove the endo from the other organs? I think this would help relieve a lot of your pain, but it's a much more invasive surgery then a lap I would imagine.
As far as doctors go, depending on where you live, there are programs you can apply for that would protect you during time you needed to take off for legitimate medical reasons. You would need a good & caring doctor with sympathy for your situation to make the process a lot smoother! I am guessing you live in the states, so I'll let one of the American sisters give you more detailed info.
