Bad period

Hey, I'm looking for some advise. Yesterday I came on in work and the pain was so bad I had to be sent home, I noticed for day 1 my bleeding was very bad, I took a hot bath and 2 zapain because the pain was unbearable. Last night I didn't get any sleep because of the pain and I bled through everything. I spent most the night crying and trying to get comfy. This morning I was debating calling an ambulance. I managed to get some sleep earlier but have woken up with severe pain and very bad bleeding, I feel sick and feel like I'm going to pass out I'm so dizzy. I'm struggling to get out of bed and I know the doctors won't do anything. Please can someone help or advice me what to do?

Norethisterone Is what I was given to slow it down and stop it being so heavy, I would call NHS, for some help to manage the pain, nhs was brill when I had been told my pain was likely constipation went to gdoc's and she said no I think cyst rupturing which I was scared of as knew I had big cyst from scan 3 weeks prior called gynea ward and had me admitted. Good luck hope you feel better really soon xxx

I rang out of hours, all she said was that she'll prescribe painkillers, no tests or anything 😞 x

When you get there have her do a urine test and she would have to feel your stomach at least surely before given you any painkillers, temp, pulse blood pressure indicators of a problem and infection at least. Hun I think she fobbing you off she can't just prescribe pain killers without some routine test. Go and see what she does as be horrible to think she just can't be arsed and thinking oh well she might not come? And from my past experience must say all mostly good I've never spoken with the doctor I have then gone on to see xxxx

Yeah I got that impression with her bad ass attitude telling you shed prescribe though no tests she not allowed to give painkillers without standard exam. Did she give you a time to go? If so go and when you get there tell her you want to see the supervisor so disheartening shame sending hugs for you xxxx

He tested my temperature to find out I have a fever and my blood pressure is a bit low and prescribed me with tranaxamic acid and oral morphine xx

Deb1511 in reply to serencatrin

Have you tried the medication are they working? Oramorph did nothing for me unfortunately, I'm shocked that with you having fever and low blood pressure he didn't call gynea ward babe as anytime I have been to gmeds with pin being so bad they have always got me admitted if I've had temp, as one doc even said one night " id like nothing more to put you to ward though as soon as they ask your temp and its normal they will send you home rubbish I know" if you get no relief tonight call your practice first thing if poss tell them everything and say you've tried the oramorph every hour think it 5ml is it and you getting no relief they should arrange for you to be seen on the ward, shame sending hugs hope you get some sleep tonight xxxx
