My name is Amanda.. and I have endometriosis. I have had 6 surgeries so far and still need to have one more. I have found a surgeon in California who does a different type of surgery and has a very high success rate. Only I live in MN and insurance won't cover any of the costs. The doctor classifies his surgeries on a 0-3 scale and he said I am a 3+. Very difficult and extensive. It will actually be a two part surgery. I desperately need to have this surgery so I can be well again and get to live a life like a person should. The pain is unbearable most days and only getting worse. I have had this crippling disease since I was in 6th grade. In and out of the hospital. Trying all sorts of drugs to help this. Dealing with pain every day. Not knowing what it is like to live a normal life. But I am hopeful to raise the money I need to have this last surgery!!
