Rant!

By this point I’m over this condition & everything it throws at me!

Just over 3 months post Op, an ultrasound a few weeks ago showed a cyst. I’ve currently been bleeding for 17 days with it getting heavier & more painful every day.

I work full time and it’s taking all my energy from me. I can’t financially afford to stop working, but this last week I’ve considered it a lot. It’s taking a huge effect on my mental health, every day I have no energy to get up & go to work and then come home & do all the things that need doing!

I feel like I wasted years on fighting for a diagnosis and since I’ve been diagnosed I’ve practically been left to deal with it alone. My GP is refusing to prescribe any strong painkillers, I have an appointment with the pain clinic in 10 days, until then I feel like I just have to get on with it.

I feel like all I do is moan but I genuinely just hate this so much, I’m exhausted from all the pain. I just wanna be able to get along with life, I feel like it’s robbed so much of my life from me already I dread to think if it gets any worse!

So sorry to hear that you are going through all this. Emotional suppression somehow does not help endo and its pain so let it all out. Ranting is good !

Thank you, it’s just really getting to me lately I can’t do the simple things without been in pain and it’s draining

I'm so sorry that you're suffering with no help from your gp!

Have you asked your endo/gyne consultant to prescribe painkillers? Sometimes gps don't like to get involved once you have a specialist - what painkillers are you taking currently?

I know what you mean about work - I can't afford to stop working but stuggle at the moment. If you're in the UK, you can self-certify for 5 days off sick, then can speak to your Dr/consultant about getting a fit certificate to sign you off for longer.

Good luck

Thank you I was under gynaecology but he discharged me at my follow up and basically told me to get a referral if things get bad again. I currently only have paracetamol right now everything else was stopped before surgery then I was given tramadol for a short term post surgery but when I went to get another prescription for it I was told I wasn’t aloud it.

I have considered going off sick but honestly don’t think I’d have a job to go back to if I did. My manager isn’t very understanding & with having the Lap this year I’ve already been off sick a lot x
