The endo patient’s explaining in detail online what their pain is like is how I realized Endometriosis is what I had and that I needed to continue to advocate for myself until a doctor believed me vs giving up like I was planning. Had I not found the other patients stories I wouldn’t be alive today.
Dr. fogelson, in your experience, do patients need contrasted or un-contrasted MRI imaging in order to potentially see that overlapping/wrapping of the veins you mentioned? In that roughly 10% group you mentioned.
Dang 😂get off family practitioners lol. Im actually a np and I am getting well versed in endometriosis, endocrinology and the immune system. Working in a rural community you have to step out of the knowledge you have and learn about different diseases that may keep reoccurring in the community you are in . Sometimes it takes 3 to 6 months for the patient to be seen by s specialist. I agree with you that family practice need to step out of the comfort zones and do more and make networks so the patients can be treated better and not suffer.

Thanks SO much for these summits. We are currently devouring them as we wait to see physicians.
