I'm so sorry you are in so much pain. I have an idea of what you are going through. I have been living with endo for the past 14 years but the past 2 years have been the worst.

I tried a natural foods cleans with juice extracts and have changed my eating lifestyle to include lots of fruits and veggies wild caught fish and organically grown chicken. I also have cut out wheat and dairy products (chocalate was the hardest). This was all under a doctors supervision. I can tell you that though the symptons aren't gone fully but the pain has reduced by half and keeps improving - a great side effect is that I lost weight (35 lbs)

I'm sorry these doctors made you think that a hysterectomy would stop all the pain but Endo metriosis can form several other places in you body especially alone you intestins or even your lungs. I would recommend that you get a 2nd or even a 3rd opinion. try to find a medical professional that deals with alternative medicine especially natural foods as a remedy.

I'm being real when I say the change to natural foods is really not easy but you'll feel good when you eat healthy and I know you feel as little as it may be initially less pain. I saw changes in pain in as little as 4 months.

God be with you and start your research.

Ask questions if something doesn't feel right in what you doctor says (worst if it is a male doctor whole most of the time has no clue what real pain is) trust you instinct and ask for another opinion.
