I thought I had it - had all the symptoms! - but a laparoscopy came back negative. However, when the doctors thought I had it, they did treat me with continuous birth control pills to stop/lighten my period, and also gave me gooood drugs: Vioxx. Unfortunately, Vioxx, and the rest of its class of drugs, was pulled off the market...it used to be the only thing that kept the cramping pain at bay long enough for me to sleep through the night. I couldn't take enough ibuprofen to kill the pain overnight without burning a hole in my esophagus.
You have my sincere sympathy...my mom and aunts all have it, and they were utterly miserable.
