Need Help Finding a Good Specialist!

Hi everyone! Me again.  A lot of you ladies have seen my posts and know a bit about what I have been dealing with.  

I have another cyst, 2.2 corpus luteum on my right ovary (they are always on the same ovary!)
I also have a slight lump on the ovary area (right side - I also have swollen nodes in my neck and have had those for years and I am not sure if endo can do all this)

My last cycle was very off.  The cycle previous to that was 6 days off and this one was 7 days sooner than that, so I have had 2 periods in a month.  I have sudden urges to pee.  Before my period cane this time I felt sweaty or too hot.

I am apprehensive to go to NY obgyn or PCP because one just threw BC at me even though I am a smoker and had a bad experience with BC at 16 ( all I did was bleed and want to jump in front of a train) it made me shake and sweat and my heart raced. I an EXTREMELY sensitive to neds. My obgyn seemed like she was very uncaring and just thought I was being paranoid.  My PCP thinks I make my pain worse by being "anxious". I am not anxious I am just tired of the ignorance I get from doctors!

I live in the LAKES REGION of NEW HAMPSHIRE.  can someone please help ne find a specialist for endometriosis? I am not having much luck.  I found one site and
all it does is give me names of drs
in the same place I go to now,
none of which are endo
specialists I don't believe .

I am worn out and frustrated and feel like I am just treated like an overly anxious little girl.  I'm in pain! And have had all the ultrasounds to prove it!!!

Also, I once had some calcium build up in my kidney (summer of 2010.  My kidney is what hurt but
found out it was a right ovary
cyst) Can calcium on kidneys happen with endo?

Thanks for any responses.

Can u inbox me your email address? Id give u a website with a list of specialists but medhelp doesn't allow  postings if outside website.

That's where I started. I checked that list. I checked their websites for what qualifications they have and if they accept insurance. Because I cannot finance a specialist consult or anything thereafter the specialist HAD to accept my insurance! Estimating if say there were probably less than 10 drs I could choose from with my guidelines.

I live in Nj close to Philly. Ideally id go to NY but ask the drs I found in NY don't accept insurance. I know there's a Dr in Maine that does, I considered setting him but choose not to (he req sending records plus a fee he scalds then calls u bk to let u kno if he can help)-that's what I learned in the website.

I chose Dr. Yeung in st. Louis, MO. My appt is 3/1 so I haven't met him yet but i've been in contact with him via email and seen an interview of him on ABC, and so far I like him! Lol! He's the director of an endo center.

I also have corpus luteal cysts...idk how big they are though. I'm not too concerned with them though because they're not causing me problems.

Add far as your urinary symptoms I question if you have endo on your urinary tract somewhere causing the urgency and contributing to calculations? Or maybe you have interstitial cystitis? Have you read up on that?
