thanks for the support. I guess my biggest concern right now is if I DO get the surgery, what if I don't really have any endo and it was useless? Then I read the symptoms again and say, "of course I do"...then I go back and forth. After having IBS so long and having horrible symptoms and having doc after doc saying there is nothing really wrong, I've got such a twisted mental approach to this. I feel like I probably do have endo, but if I don't, won't this surgery be a waste? I'm just overwhelmed. I took the naproxen at 7 and didn't get any relief. I read that those drugs need to be taken on the onset of symptoms...and I'm 4 days into my period. So maybe it's too late. Hopefully the period will settle, I'll be less emotional and think clearly in the morning. Thanks for responding so quickly. It's nice to have someone to ask questions about this...I'm such a pro on IBS, having something else wrong with me is really new and I want to know all about it quickly. Thanks
