I'm totally at my wit's end. I live in Northern Ireland. I have endometriosis, waiting to go for laparoscopy. Have been on waiting list from September 2018- (10months now)
Painful periods, extremely heavy bleeding I am taking so much co-codamol that I am so tired and spend half of the day out of it.
I rung today to find out roughly how much longer I have to wait to be told I have at least another year to year and a half, as routine patients aren't getting seen at all. Even urgent patients list are moving at a slow pace due to the volume of cancer patients waiting to go for surgery (which I totally understand is important)
I'm lost, I feel like nothing matters, i'm in pain and I'm struggling and I'm ANGRY. So so much do we not matter in Northern Ireland?
I rung my doctor's to be told you would be best to go private? Please please in Northern Ireland advise me what to do. I don't have private medical. But if need to be I will pay. I have had MRI scan and all already done. I just can't wait this long.
