Im 21 and im still waiting for my second laproscopy to remove the endometriosis, after having the first one to diagnose it last March. I have a severe case of endo, whereby it's attached to my kidneys, liver, bowel, ovaries and diaphragm. Since the first lap, my periods are getting worse! I'm not averaging about 23 days on my period, heavily! and then about 8/9 off. The pain is getting unbelievably stronger! I was told that I was going to have my lap November 2014, when I didn't receive a pre op appointment I rang the hospital and they then said it won't be until after Christmas! I had my pre op on the 8th Jan and I'm still yet to receive a date for my op because apparently the surgeon needs the whole list for me, so there can't be another appointment on the day I go in! My pre-op will run out soon, I think someone said it runs out in 3 months? which means I'll have to go back in and wait again! I was told that I'm not even on the list at the moment so it's likely to be the end of April! Im in my final year of university, and not only do I struggle to concentrate when I'm in pain, but it affects my attendance when I'm being sick with pain or I'm in that much pain I'm unable to drive to uni!
I literally have had enough with endo, and I hate the fact it rules my life! I feel so sorry for my boyfriend who has to put it up with it!
Has anyone gone private? or does anyone know the price, roughly, they charge? or anyone got any advice to help me? I feel so down right now, worried about uni but worried about my self aswell!
Endometriosis, can't cope with work anymore!
How do you cope emotionaly?
