12 days till lap- how do I keep going?

[Kate8989]

Pelvic pain has moved from left to right. Had a real good day at work yesterday, felt really positive. Got home and had the worst pelvic pain on the right side every couple of hours... even woke me up in the night which it never does.
I’m so tired of all this and I know it’s only 12 days till I get some answers but I don’t know how to cope in the meantime. I’m losing weight rapidly, my hair is falling out. I cry all the time and I’m in pain. HELP

Hello Kate8989,

We are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers have said, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Sending strength from all at MNHQ.

I don’t know how to deal with the pain. I don’t want it so I panick and get in a state. If I could manage it for 11 days I would but I’m not managing I’m getting in a state. Although it will be great to have some answers I’m also bloody petrified of being told I have something like endometriosis. I’ve always worried I have it and being given an official diagnosis scares the shit out of me. That’s also another reason I’m thinking of ending it all, I don’t want a life with endometriosis. I hate life it’s shit

Yes my husband knows. He’s told me to “hang in there” easier said than done

You've made it this far. I think you should hang in there.

You need to make lemonade out of lemons. If you know, you can do something about it. There are always options.

You know you get in a state, but surely having made it this long, you have moments when you aren't so worked up. Don't sell yourself by making decisions you would regret when you're thinking more clearly.

I’ve had one day where it’s been as bad as this. The rest of time it’s there but I can live with it. When it gets really bad like last night and today I worry it will never go away which is why I get in a state.
I’ve had a lot of shit happen in my life and I know a lot of people have but I don’t feel I can take much more shit. This MC and daily pain is like the last straw- I’m cursed! X

I friend on another thread just sent me this. I think you should do this too.



I can’t see anything? X

Ahh! Won't work on the app...

Can you email to me if I PM you?

Does this work?

Can’t see anything have sent you my email x

OH yes sorry I see now x

Why won't my pics post????? Grr.

They do! Sorry must have taken a little while to load, thank you for that I have copied and saved it. I’m waiting for 10pm so I can take
my next round of painkillers 😔

Today is a new day. I'm thinking of you and hoping today is brighter.

I was just about to send you a message how spooky. I had a broken sleep but managed to get some. The pain woke me up a couple of times but I tried to reassure myself it will be ok. It’s playing me up this morning but trying to stay calm and rise above it. It’s hard when youre scared though... I’m on the verge on panicking but trying not too. X

No need to panic - you're in the hands of professionals. While they might not understand your level of desperation or urgency, they are there to help.

I think you're doing the right things.

Be kind to yourself.
