Yeah. We succeeded in getting my wife an endo appointment about several months, or is it years, ago but we are still waiting. Given where we live I fear, “Oh, your not suffering any side effects, exercise and a healthy diet, that’s all you need.” But maybe if he gets innerested and wants to spend some time battling an insurance company.

I sympathize with the guys. My endo just gave up and went home (somewhere nice and warm in the sun, with good music); now I’m waiting on the same guy as my wife.
