I had a complete abdominal hysterectomy and both ovaries removed in 2003 at the age of 26.....i had endometriomas removed twice both the size of softballs////now i'm having all kinds of gastrointestinal issues , chest pains, no sex drive whatsoever, extreme fatigue and anxiety and depression...also leg cramps and back and hip pain....i feel like the doctors have all pretty much passed me off like a crazy menopausal 30 year old but something i feel is not right....what do i do....i'm so tired of seeing doctors!!!!!

What specialists have you been to? Have they ran any blood work such as ESR, CRP, ANA, etc. Have you been to a rheumatologist? If not, I would see one if your insurance allows for it. If you find a good one, and have a history such as yours, they will usually order so much lab work that your head will spin and be willing to help difficult to diagnose cases. Since they typically deal with autoimmune disorders, and they are difficult to positively diagnose, my experience is they are sensitive to the fact that we have symptoms, that are real, but not readily explained.
I had rheumatoid for 7 months before it was diagnosed because doctors dismissed me as post partum!
