What next?

Hey lovelies! Following Lap and treatment in March for Endo my pain and symptoms have continued (bad pelvic cramps, bloating, 2 severe periods lasting 10 days 6 weeks apart and feeling exhausted all the time) I went back to see consultant who put me on provera to help but 3 weeks later symptoms had worsened so I was taken off them and referred to see a bowel specialist (apparently symptoms to bowel are similar) so they wanted to rule this out. Had my appointment on Friday only to be told I have a dysfunctional bowel (ibs), That i need to come off pain relief and manage with diet and It will go away. This was all said with no investigation, examination or tests, no recommendations for pain management or what diet I should follow (I eat a pretty balanced one currently). He also told me that it’s unlikely my symptoms were ever caused by my endo and are all bowel related, no follow up appointments and sent on my way - see my doctor for follow up if needed. So I left feeling shocked and very upset, I’m at a complete loss of what to do next. I know my body and my pain and know this isn’t all bowel related. It is having a significant impact on my life, when I don’t take pain killers I’m left in agony and struggling to carry out day to day activities. I feel like it’s taking over and to be fobbed off feeling like I’m wasting peoples time has just broken me. Has anybody else had any similar experiences? If so what did you do, any advice?

Thank you xx
