How to get my gp to take me seriously

IM IN THE UK

I have all the symptoms of endometriosis, including debilitating pain that occurs outside of periods and has spread to further up my torso and debilitating nausea. This could point to endometriosis spreading to other organs. My gp has referred me to gynecologist for a routine appt with a waitlist of 1.5 years. I *cannot* wait that long, ive been trying to get this referral for years already. The pain has become debilitating, i can't walk for longer than a minute or two, can't eat often due to severe nausea, can't work. I use a wheelchair and presented to my gp in my wheelchair. I explained the pain is debilitating but I feel like she doesn't really believe that it's as bad i say it is.

How do I get my gp to change my referral to urgent? I really believe this should be investigated quicker than it currently is. There are several things this could be, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, different forms of cancer. All of which I fit the symptoms for. You'd think that if you're displaying symptoms that match those of ovarian/uterine cancer, you'd get an urgent referral, right?

Edit: i keep requesting appointments to discuss this more with a gp but they keep refusing because ive been referred to gynae so "they'll take over'

I remember playing a game when I was younger, like 2015-2018 ish on an IOS phone. It was a story game, like Epsiode. The general premise is that you are trapped (?) in a castle with people who turn out to be vampires/ i think there was a werewolf and a wizard too. There is a cat who can talk, I think he used to be human, who helps you to find a way to escape but you end up falling in love with your chosen occult character. The game is in like an "anime" art style. It was called Blood + [something] im pretty sure. I remember loving this game, it was a dark romance/ fantasy I was a big fan of. Please help!
