Having A Tough Month!

Hello everyone, I have been struggling this month lately with my endometriosis and I have been very emotional, I have had mood swings and I have been crying in pain because the doctors don't listen to me whenever I go in to complain about my pains.

I have been to many appointments written down a diary of my pains and my periods but nothing I do seems to matter. I get put on the pill and thats all they have offered me. Any advice please for what i can do? xxxx

Hi this sounds so similar to me. I kept a diary and wrote a list of symptoms everytime I went to my appointments but I feel like I've never been listened to. Its always like ' oh ok try this pill or have a hysterectomy' surely there is more they can do instead of them fobbing us off! Sorry I can't give any advise as I'm feeling the same. Hope you get the help you need soon xx

I know the feeling it's horrible I feel like I am getting no where my partner attends the appointments with me and he comes out of there angry with how they treat me and my condition, I sit there and I feel like I am getting the same answers over and over. I am sorry you are feeling the same hope your okay xx :)

I keep asking my husband to come with me so he can tell them how bad I get with moods and pain! It took 7 1/2 years before the GP referred me to gyne after I tried everything they offered. I had antibiotics 3 scans, 2 different pills, 2 coils, depo provera injections and still got told its just its just ovulation pain! Finally had a lap and diagnosed. I cried when I got told it is endo. Weirdly happy tears and all I could say was I'm not mad after all! Just keep going back and hopefully you will get some help xx

Hello my advice is go back to the doctors every week, keep going until they listen to you, maybe see a female doctor, when you are in severe pain go and see your GP so they can see how you are or if over a weekend go to A&E. Don’t suffer all this pain x

Hello thank you for the advice, I have been several times with my partner we once went to the doctors 4 times in a week and we were given the same answers over and over, my partner and myself come out of there angry and frustrated because it's always the same answers. Hope all is well :) xx
