31 female from the UK, suspected endo
I had an appointment today with my GP, after waiting for around 2 months. I'd attended a&e twice in the mean time for chest pain, I didnt want to go because they never really do anything but my partner and my parents insisted and took me. (Turns out its probably due to my spine being wonky and im now referred to physio).
I have suspected Endo with the usual symptoms- heavy bleeding, back/leg/hip pain, clotting, fatigue, i pass out on my period, gut issues and pain (going number 2), peeing a lot and uncontrollably on occasion, all sorts of things.
Ive had ultrasounds that showed nothing and I am due to go back in on the 9th of June for my second gynea appointment to see what my next steps are.
I made this appointment for today with the doctor 2 months ago like I previously stated, just to see if my results from the gastrointestinal consultant had come back (had a colonoscopy to see if it was gut related issues), and to just ask about the fatigue and stuff because I haven't had any medication or help apart from some Contraceptive pills (which aren't working) and some co codamol 😅
She, in a round about way said I have a lot of symptoms and they can't see what's wrong, and what I got from what she said, is that she thinks im making it up. I am devastated because this is the doctor who first referred me to gynea, suspected Endo in the first place and has helped me all the way through so far. Before this massive flare I had in October last year I hadn't been to the doctor for years. I strictly avoided going because I hate going 🤣
Im completely stuck now and to be honest, im super sad. Its been really effecting my mental health recently and Im back on sertraline again too because the sick feeling constantly, the not knowing what's wrong and the stress has messed me up.
This is more of a rant of frustration because basically being told in a round about way im a hypochondriac has messed me up considering they have been monitoring my periods and how they've effected me since I was 16...im 31 now so this has destroyed me.
