I THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:  Endometriosis Foundation


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Endometriosis is a disease without known cause, that can cause pain and
misery to its sufferers.  The endometrial tissue which normally lines the
uterus, and undergoes a monthly cycle of growth and shedding, mysteriously
locates outside of the uterus, in the ovaries, vagina and rectum for example,
but continues to follow the same patterns it does within the uterus.  The
resulting internal bleeding, and degeneration of blood and tissue, causes
inflammation and scarring, provoking the pain and other problems that occur.
Women who are afflicted with this disease often need knowledge and and
support, which can be obtained from the Endometriosis Foundation, which was
formed to accomplish just that.  You can obtain a most informative packet,
that contains a brochure about endometriosis, a newsletter, a publications
list and more information about the Foundation by sending a stamped
self-addressed envelope directly to The Endometriosis Foundation, P.O. Box
92187, Milwaukee, Wisc. 53202, with your request.  If the situation is urgent,
or you wish to speak to someone now, you may call their toll free number
1-800-992-ENDO for information and prompt attention.
