In September 2000, before I went to Gyn because of the pain, I had gone to a family doctor and had a check up and blood tests. Along with the pain I was tired a lot of time and I thought I was getting some kind of sickness. All the blood tests results were fine and the doctor did not find anything unusual at the examination. I think it was good that I went to a general practitioner and made sure that some other disease was not giving me that pain. It helped me to feel sure that I have endometriosis without having laparoscopy and as a result, I could start thinking about treatments quickly. Besides, she-the practitioner-was the first one to have suggested that I might have endometriosis.
