Quicker appointment

[Soph94]

Hi everyone, haven't posted in a while due to just being tired and down. Basically my last Gynocology appointment I was told to take back to back pill for 6 months. It's been 2 months and to be honest I am not better if not worse I feel like my body is telling me somethings wrong. To be honest I'm not really prepared to wait another 6 months. Do you think I would be able to ring up my Gynocology department and explain its not working and how I'm not prepared to wait another 4 months when there's no change. I want something done I can't live like this. Thanks in advance  you for any information you can give me. Hope everyone is doing as well as they can xx

In short, YES. I was told something similar and then when I read a laparoscopy was the only sure way to diagnose and treat endo, I pushed literally every day for one. I ended up going private through work insurance but I do know ladies who have chased on the NHS and got a quicker appointment by stressing how bad (and worsening) their physical symptoms are (I found they didn't respond as well to all the mental symptoms). Make it a mission to push even though I know how crappy you feel. X

if your symptoms have got worse i would ring your consultants secretary to explain and get an appointment in clinic. i had to do this myself last year and was told to give it at least 3 months. it is hard because a lot of these medications take a while to work and our body to adjust to them but its the time lost waiting to see if it will work. i dont think drs realise how hard it is to just bare with it for 3 / 6 months at a time. feels like life is just passing us by. is made worse when u know a 3 month appointment will prob take at least 4 anyway!! by the way it didnt work for me either x
