I don't really mind if no one reads this, it's a way for me to help deal with the problems I'm facing and if I help anyone that's a bonus.
I haven't had time to post in so long, had assignments and what not to do.
So since I posted last, I have seen another specialist.
First we paid for a private gynaecologist, as we didn't know how long the wait time was. He told me what sort of situation I was in and what I needed to do. He did a small internal exam. He thinks its most likely endometriosis but the only way to prove it definitively is by laporoscopy, the thought of which terrifies me. I have a very bad phobia of needles and have been known to faint when I come in contact with them!
So they want me to have an ultrasound as well. Myself and my mam decided to wait and see what the wait list was with public health.
About two weeks later we got an appointment in the post for public! Typical, if I had have just waited it would have taken three years!! So we went along.
The doctor was lovely. She took a few tests, did a smear and an std test (No chance I could have one...just my boyfriend on the scene..one and only ;))
She didn't say it was anything in particular, which was a good and a bad thing. The first doctor ruled out PCOS (Polycystic ovaries) immediately as I would be in pain all the time, but I'm not. This second doctor didn't, and this worried me more.
She has referred me for an ultrasound, so I should be back with them in four months.
I'm currently in a lot of pain. I stopped this months pill on Thursday night and I've been getting cramps since then. I'm taking my painkillers and they aren't working. I don't know how much longer I can cope with this pain. I know it's getting sorted and soon it will be worked out, but the pain is bad now. I just want it gone!
I'll post more tomorrow, it's a good way of tracking the pain, which I need for the doctors.
