Any advice on how to give your GP the right explanation about your situation?

Hi Anvi

Have you seen the symptom questionnaire on the Endo UK website? It helps you to make sure you have considered all the relevant aspects that a GP might ask when you go for your appointment, and make sure you cover all the main symptoms - even those he/she might not ask about.

Here's the link: endometriosis-uk.org/sympto...

Hope that's useful and good luck

Thanks Helen

I will have a look at the questionnaire.

Hi

This is always a problem for me as there is so many things you want to describe but I always find it difficult in the GP's room to get across the pain I am in, and remembering all the symptoms. I resorted to keeping a pain diary for 3 months and wrote down every single symptom that I had and just handed it to my GP and the consultant when I was referred. I found that was really useful. Good luck x

Hi katt

I will start keeping a pain diary as well and see how it goes.

Thanks
