Find the Right Doctor For You!

I think as other things have come up in my life, I have forgotten to write about one of the most, if not the most, important things I have learned from having endometriosis.  It is SO important to find the right doctor for you!!  Endometriosis is a real disease and it has real, if invisible, symptoms.  If you know there is something wrong with you, please please please do not let a bad doctor tell you otherwise!  It is OKAY to disagree with a doctor and it is OKAY to get a second opinion and it is OKAY if you simply do not "gel" with a certain doctor.  There is someone out there who will be a part of your support system!  I feel extremely lucky in this one aspect: I love my doctor.  I think she is extremely intelligent, she is open to all types of healing (from surgical to alternative therapies), she is understanding, and very supportive.  I am constantly reassured that she is super smart when I look at articles or blogs and see that I have tried pretty much everything people are writing about.  Also, if I were to ask her a question that she didn't know the answer to, she would simply look it up and tell me she doesn't know but will find out.
