Don't worry too much mate. We have all taken some damage but a lot of it can be improved, especially with your excellent regimen and a little help from modern medicine. I know I've probably given my body a bit of a battering, but I can also feel the improvements the last few years have brought. Shocking that you haven't gotten your results or appointment with endo yet though. Fingers crossed for you for both of those.
