Good to know. When you're so consumed with all these symptoms and complications, you lose focus because you're so intuned with the pain. Yes, I have. Will have to call the Drs on Monday. Most definitely. : )

I have the same symptoms but also have new ones. I also have hypotension recently ever since I got my period and these symptoms. Am checking on my blood pressure. I've been on the progesterone pill for 4 years after my 2nd surgery. Before that, I was taking regular birth control and this minipill has suppressed my endo but I do have small lesions. Will call my gyno Monday to let her know what's going on. Thanks again for your response. It's helped a lot.
