Just a rant and just a question...
Hey, been lurking so often in this Reddit I thought I may as well join and post. Also, I'm in the UK, just don't know if this means comments and stuff are different.
I've been having severe pain since I was 16. I'm now 32. I've had MRI scans and ultrasounds, but they've never found anything. During this time, I've had THREE friends diagnosed with endometriosis and two diagnosed with PCOS. During this time, I've been told everything from stress to anxiety to it's in my head...
I know everyone's journey is different, but I've been on HRT injections for over a year now, which allows me to get out of bed and work like a normal person.
However, at the moment, my bloat won't go down. I'm in so much pain, I can't eat/drink/pick stuff up from the floor. I can't even sleep I'm in so much pain.
I haven't had any contact with the gynecologist since before Christmas. Last time I saw her she basically just said that because I've responded so well to the HRT they are gonna keep me on it for a while.
I'm just feeling so defeated and lost. I've had one of the people I know with endometriosis say she doesn't think I have it else they'd have found it by now. I just feel like I can't carry on with things at the moment.
