Hi Kath. You need to go back to GP and tell them you need a referral to gynaecology, as it sounds like you could have endometriosis. If you have I would suggest you then ask to be referred to a specialist at a BSGE centre. You could try to get this referral first, but some doctors may not be too helpful in that respect. Good luck.

You're not a lunatic. It took me nearly 30 years to get a diagnosis. So don't give up. I look forward to finding out how you get on. Take care.
