Tubal LIgation Syndrome - Myth Or Fact?

I had a Tubal Ligation done just over 5 years ago when I had my third child. It was agreed at the time that it would be our last child. However, since I had the tubal Ligation, I've suffered many health problems along with whats close to half of a list of symptoms of a condition known as Tubal Ligation Syndrome. A link to a list of Symptoms is below. http://www.tubal.org/symptoms_of_pts.htm So many Doctors do not believe this condition exists, and so trying to find a doctor to take women seriously when they complain about this is next to impossible. The only cure, is to have the Tubal ligation reversed. I personally am more than convinced that this condition does in fact exist, and that I do suffer from it. Every monthly cycle I have is a living hell for me. I'm wondering if any of you out there suffer from this. How bad do you feel each month? Have you found a Doctor that took you seriously or did they make excuses? Would you consider having your tubal reversed in order to stop the pain?

I never had a tubal, but as much as twenty years ago my friend refused to have a tubal for this reason. Anecdotally people say they suffer a lot from these symptoms. Find a female doctor, possibly young. Or at least a female Physicians' Assistant. Good luck to you.
