April and May has been yet another downturn in my health.
Around the middle of April, I got massively sick with diarrhea, bleeding, pain, etc. and called in to my GP for a referral to another gynecologist because I felt my current one wasn't doing what she could. I went to the GP and she wanted baseline bloodwork.
I quickly scheduled that bloodwork, as I just wanted to get it done. The initial labs said elevated liver enzymes, so the doctor ordered repeat labs with more tests and an ultrasound. I went and got the repeat labs scheduled and done that very day.

The second time I went was pretty much as challenging as the first with finding veins; the lab tech had a hard time...tied the tie around both arms and tapped for veins before finally using my right hand and a butterfly needle.

The repeat bloodwork was allegedly normal, so they said on the phone, but I went and did the ultrasound anyway. I got a male tech and he ended up doing scans from sternum to a dry pelvis scan because he wanted to be thorough. He took about 57 pictures in all and it was gentle, but some of the areas hurt very much when they were pressed upon. The scan was only supposed to be abdominal, focusing on the liver, so I find it interesting that he included the pelvis and when I asked about it and mentioned the endo, he said that if it was very bad, they would see it in the scans.

Ultimately, there was no reason in the ultrasound to explain the elevated enzyme and I was advised to keep an eye on it.
