Help Need help! Please help

I was hoping sombody could help me. I'm a 26 year old female with endometriosis and a urachal cyst. I've been through hell(pardon my language) for the past 4 years. I've been through many doctors and very few have helped me in any way. They did a scope for my Endometriosis and found some on my left side. I've had this agonizing pain in my right side that shoots down my leg and groin area. I went to another specialist for a second opinion and he put me on Lupron. I askedhim what side effects to look out for and he simply told me that alli would get is hot flashes and some cramping the first couple shots. Well, this shot gave me memory loss, sleeping issues due to shallow breathing, BAD temper, personality change, suicidal thought, deep depression, and did i mention that my pain got so much worse. I only lasted 4 months on it and the doctor tried to give me an extra 2 shots on top of the original 6. I had been trying to tell these doctors(nt to mention my family doctor) about these serious side effects. They told me that it happens and to keep going with this shot. I almost killed myself one day because i felt like i was really dying. I've been off it for 5 months now and i am now afraid to get my period because of the severe pain i get. I've had to go to the emerg so many times because of the pain, they cant seem to rule out anything and they say i need to see a specialist. The only thing that take away my pain is morphine and i only had it once. They give me percocet and t3's that barely touch it, so i dont use them often. I haven't been able to work for about a year and a half, and sometimes i dont even want to get out of bed. I feel so lost and i blame Lupron for a big part. I've been through colonoscopy's and laporoscopy, ultra sounds, and even a ct scan. Have the time i can only wear sweat pants because of the pain. I now get headaches, and this right pain is just ridiculous. I need HELP from anybody that can relate or that could have information on getting help and possibly taking Lupron and this other doctor to court. My quality of life is right down and i'm only 26. I feel lost and am tired of these idiotic doctor's. PLEASE HELP. thanks for reading
