[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 262519, member: 1233"] Jen, I have a friend from high school who had horrific periods since the very first one. She apparently had endometriosis before age 10 - bad. She hurt all the time, but esp during periods. Websites that say that endo can be diagnosis by a pelvic or sonogram are partially correct. Endo CAN be found that way, but is frequently missed. Laproscopic exam is the only definitive way that does not include hysterectomy. Of course they can find it if they do the hyster. I am almost wondering if these fevers are part of lupus or some other disorder in addition to endo. You might research "fever of unknown origin" on google or some other search engine. A lady who was in our chronic pain/lupus support group had a horrible time with FUO (fever of unknown origin - her acronym, not a formal one to my knowledge) that stemmed from either her lupus, fibromyalgia or endo. [B]([/B]WOW! I just now read the wikipedia page and apparently FUO is a widely used acronym, I had no idea![B])[/B] Not sure you will find any help with the research, but it shouldn't help to check. I hope you feel better soon - very soon! Keep calling the doctor office about your biopsy results. (oh, I am not saying YOU have fibro, just that the friend had those 3 illnesses. FUO can be a part of lupus, to my knowledge). I used the yahoo! search on my toolbar to come up with this list of articles/sites on FUO: [URL="http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=ytff1-sunm&p=fever%20of%20unknown%20origin&ei=UTF-8&type="]http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=ytff1-sunm&p=fever%20of%20unknown%20origin&ei=UTF-8&type=[/URL]. I thought it might be easier for you if all you had to do was click. I know my other friend had such overload on her brain, in part because the fevers and pain. Gentle hugs! [/QUOTE]
