Frustrated

I’m so fed up and frustrated with Endo. The last few periods have been so bad I’ve had to call in sick because I just can’t bare the thought of doing the shift(s) with pain, fatigue, nausea and sweats. Crying at the realisation that crawling up the stairs is agony isn’t normal for a 24 year old.

I’ll be starting a new job soon too, and I really don’t want Endo holding me back and jeopardising my position whilst still in a probabtion period.

I have a follow up from an MRI with my new specialist soon. I just hope they have some answers. I feel so helpless. I need guidance and direction. If anyone has any support or suggestions, they are welcome.

Thank you x

Ps, it’s good to write on here to get some emotions and thoughts out rather than talking to my partner and family because they worry so much :/

I know the feeling I got sacked from my last job due to absence and that was one of the reasons they didn't believe me and they where very unprofessional they are a horrible company. I disclosed my health condition and they where very understanding during my probabion I had two periods which was very difficult to deal with but I pulled through I would ask your specialist if you can do what I do and take your pills on block if that's what you're on then you'll have less periods to deal with x
