Finally having Lap!!!

Hi Guys. I've been struggling for two years with severe lower abdominal pain and nausea but in the last 6 months periods have been horrendously heavy and painful and then I feel sick most of the month as well. Went to my GP in London a couple of times, requested blood tests and ultra sound, nothing came back and she just called it Gut problems and gave me Colofac. I've had plenty of people tell me it must be gut and it got to me so I tried an elimination diet with the Colofac and nothing helped. This pain has brought on depression and stages of being angry or wanting to cry or just wanting to be left alone. Doesn't help that 5 days a week I am on my feet all day being a chef. Anyway, after finally blocking out everyone else's opinions and going with my (no pun intended ) gut feeling, I went to a specialist. Sadly this is very expensive as you all know but when it comes to our amazing bodies and good health ladies, we must do everything we can. Anyway, he was amazing and he's a Endometriosis specialist and booked me in on 18th June for Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy. I'm nervous, excited, emotional.... Just hoping something comes of it all! Anyway, girls, if you feel you know your body and know what's wrong go with that feeling and argue to the end of the earth and back with your GPs to get what you need from them. This illness is so hard to live with and so many of us suffer in silence for so long. I'm here to chat to anyone who wants to let off steam, ask questions about my op or my illness, or just a chin wag. I will be asking questions too 😋 I've never had an operation and never been under general 😔 Lots of love to you all! Xxxx
