My gyno thinks I have endometriosis

[JessieJ21]

I have a laparopscopy coming up soon after my physical exam on the 10th. I am in severe pain, my lower back, buttocks, hips, groin, and pelvic area hurt bad. The pain is so unbearable when I start my period I can't even move even sometimes narcotics don't help the pain. Also have pain during intercourse occasionally its embarrassing because sometimes I can't bear through that pain either. I also have a "left adnexal mass" they aren't exactly sure what it is first it was just a cyst, then a hemorrahgic cyst, then an unfuntional ovarian cyst with a secondary hemorrhagic cyst growing on it, then my gyno calls it a dermoid by accident then laughed unless that's really what she thinks it is, but she also says she thinks i have endometriosis because of all my pain, and I have no children be trying for a couple years or more so I must be infertile. She says when they go in and look she will be able to take a look at my "dermoid" (as she thinks it is maybe) and maybe remove it and any endometriosis tissue. Does anyone have a similar story or want to talk? I was worried it was something besides endometriosis because I am also losing weight, because i have no appetite most the time, constipation alternating with diarrhea,  I'm so tired and weak, I've had recurring vaginal infections, chills, excessiv sweats/night sweats, swollen lymph nodes ect. anyone else?

Well I have the healthy Michigan Plan now, I don't know which doctors  would accept that. Also I read of a woman with endo who recommends Dr. Mersol-Garg in Birmingham, Mi if they live in Michigan. Just wondering if anyone else had success with him, or knows people that have?

I'm hoping things will start looking up soon, I feel like it will be forever til I get relief:(

It is further, but still it'd be cheaper if she does take a plan I can get accepted for I will look into it. Ty(:

She might be further but I heard she takes many different types of insurance she is wonderful. Maybe call and see?

He doesn't take medicaid which is the insurance I might be getting.. so its like $355 for the first consultation, after that Id be able to find out what the rest would cost.
