Hi Hope,
Thanks for sharing your story on EmpowHER. I'm really sorry you are dealing with all the pain and no support from your doctors. Have you tried seeking help from a doctor who specializes in Advanced Gynecology and Pelvic Pain? Like you I suffered horribly from endometriosis (stage four) for years before I found the right doctor who understood the pain and suffering I was going through, took me seriously and provided me with the right treatment I needed.
Your right you need the right doctor to treat this horrible condition and most importantly believes you when you tell him/her of the pain and discomfort you are in. There's nothing worse than having a doctor tell you the pain can't be that bad or make you feel like it's in your head! Reading your story makes me mad because I was treated the same way for years.
Here's a group you might find helpful, like you these women are also suffering from endometriosis they may also have some suggestions for you.

I'm not sure where you live but I'm happy to share my doctor's name and information with you if you don't have a gynecologic surgeon who specializes in pelvic pain.
Take care and let me know how else I can help you.
