I have been suffering from extreme period pain and heavy bleeding since I can remember. Last year the pain was beyond anything I'd felt before. After seeing my gp I was told it was most likely a cyst and if the pain goes away its nothing to worry about. January this year the pain returned leaving me bed ridden for weeks. I decided I needed answers so returned to my gp who referred me for an ultrasound. No cyst. But called into see my gp within days and was told they found a form of endometriosis on the outside of my womb lining. Since then I have received my gyno referral which will be 1st June. I have been in extreme pain , taking time off work, losing sleep, over sleeping and feeling depressive.
Tomorrow I plan to call my gp in order to receive more info and help. I also have a meeting with my manager as I am in need to temporarily drop a few hours at work due to exhaustion and depression.
Is it possible to get a letter from the doctor about my condition before having a full diagnosis through laparoscopy?
Any info would be fantastic.
