Hey, thanks for replying, both of you. You both brought up a few questions that I'm now going to answer.

Amity1309 - no, the doctor has not given me a diagnosis, currently the pain I get has no reason. I'll bring it up with her at my next appointment which will be in a few weeks. Until then, I plan on going on the recommended diet to see if that makes a difference - I don't relish the thought of being on drugs the rest of my life...though, I wouldn't mind just getting surgery and having it all taken out...

Healingme4me - I've actually heard that it doesn't show up in an ultrasound; a website dedicated to the condition states the only surefire way is a laparoscopy. As for other symptoms, I also get constipation, back pain, leg pain and tiredness, which are on the list. The other symptoms I can't comment are all sexual and I am not, nor ever have been, active. As for a referral to an OBGYN....I love my country, I do, but Australia is not perfect. To get into the public system would mean a waiting list for two years and I can't afford private because I'm currently unemployed. So that kinda rules that out, unfortunately. From what I can find, my AD is a low dosage...but I just found on a website that it increases the chance of self harm, which I have done, and worsening depression...is my AD doing me more harm than good? Should I go off it?
