I came on here to find support and help that may get me through the next few months as I wait for my appointment for my laparoscopy.
I am a young woman with suspected endometriosis which is already affecting my life so much. I'm writing this as I've just returned from yet again another appointment pleading with my doctor to get me an appointment ASAP with the gyn unit at the hospital to discuss my laparoscopy, as I've yet again had to take another day out my life to stay in bed with the pain. I can't cope with this much longer, I have been waiting three months already to be sent out an appointment for the hospital and have just been told it could take another three months on top of that as they have referred me twice already. I broke down once I returned home, why won't anyone just bloody help me?
I'm experiencing excruciating period/ovulation pains in my pelvic area, legs and back, I'm constantly constipated and even having sex sometimes is painful for me. I've been told to sit at home and dope myself up on solpadol, mefenamic acid and tranexamic acid tablets to deal with the pain/bleeding which make me dizzy, nauseous and unable to drive.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to speed up getting an appointment with the gynaecolohoy unit? If it doesn't come soon I may be forced to take myself to A&E and beg them to get me seen ASAP. I can't take much more of this.
