I actually did provide my references above and linked.  I am not "delegating" anything and am incredibly offended that you accuse me of that.  I am appalled that you consider the amount of publicity generated by a study to mean that it is accurate, because that is not at all the case.  You really need to do some SERIOUS research yourself about this disease Ed, because I am not sure what you have to contribute to on the topic of endometriosis.  You clearly know nothing about the disease, and are so concerned with silly rules and posting inaccurate information that it prevents endo patients from recieving the information they desperately need.  You are a sad, sad man Ed.  I encourage you to spend 1 day in my shoes.  Try being in what is equivalent to end stage labour pain about 95% of the time (you wouldn't last an hour).  Then you might have something to contribute.  But until you have a biopsy confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis (yes, I did say biopsy confirmed unlike the article), you need to understand that you have absolutely NOTHING to contribute to the subject of endometriosis.
