Lorde… is vip pit worth it?

Hoping to get tickets to Lorde but don’t know if I should wait and see if anymore vip come up??

I went to Hyde park last year GA and wish I had been vip because of the sound issues/views and want to know if the set up is better for all points east or if I should just get vip if they come up

Advice please! Seeing consultant soon

Hi there! Looking for advice im dreading my upcoming appointment because i feel as though ill just be dismissed. Not asking for diagnosis on here im asking for any advice on how to advocate for yourself and whether anyone has a similar experience of being dismissed but then ending up with the diagnosis they thought they had. Over the last year my stomach issues have got worse, I have episodes of excruciating cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea, this year I had rectal bleeding. Spent nearly a month in hospital with colitis, pumped full of steroids, had my colonoscopy near to the end of my hospital stay which showed mild inflammation and my biopsies were clear. My calprotectin was 1800. I’ve had an mri of small bowel haven’t had official results yet but informally was told it’s clear, it was a ct scan that originally picked up the colitis. I spent nearly a month of drs telling me they thought it was IBD only when I got discharged and referred to a consultant he thinks it’s not. He dismissed calproctectin as I was bleeding at the time and said that’s why it was so high, he also told me IBD doesn’t cause “really bad pain”. My bloodwork consistently shows elavated inflammation and my pain and bowel issues (urgency/frequency and go between diarrhoea and constipation) have not let up since January. I just want answers and a way forward but I think I’ll go to the appointment and he won’t have any suggestions and be dismissive again. Advice appreciated.

Saw consultant last year who said it’s highly likely I have endo and the best thing to do would be to have the coil because the wait list in my area for surgery is two years and they are reluctant to operate if you haven’t tried the coil. Was meant to have it fitted earlier in year but I’ve had other health issues (which could be linked to endo) so I’ve only just had it fitted today. It was a difficult insertion due to my cervix being ‘hard to visualise’ and inflamed due to cervical ectropian. I said to the nurse doing it I don’t really want the coil but feel like I’ve got no choice. I’ve had loads of painful procedures this year but I had to have them, this is the first time where I didn’t need a procedure but felt like I wouldn’t get help otherwise. My cramping is terrible. I’d love for anyone with any positive stories to share if the coil helped them or if you resonate with any of this please comment because I’m feeling very down rn 😭🫶🏼
