Nymphadora · 29/11/2007 20:29

Been going on for 7 nearly 8 weeks, I have been seen by gynae, surgery & physio and discharged from all.Now waiting for new gynae referal.

Symptoms- pain in lower abdomen , uterus? area, very much around my c-section scar anyway!

been throwing up for about 5 weeks (not sure if this is stress related tho)

weak, tired very easily

lost about a stone though this could be down to the sickness & loss of appetite.

feels like something isfalling out of me if I stand for too long (20 mins)

certain postions hurt in sex

Now it also hurts to wee.

Have been preg tested, tested for stds, no coil though had a failed attempt at one about a month prior to this.I had an ultrasound done too.

Am so very fed up now, any suggestions welcome!

Saw gynae yesterday and that was one of his suggestions. Goingfor a laporoscopy (sp?) but will be end of Jan cos I am not a priority. He also suggeested adhesions and maybe womb sticking to my bowel too.

Been awful last couple of days. still passing out.dd2 keeps saying Mummy are you dead .Started being sick again too.

Think I passed out this am and banged head on the floor (was sat on floor & woke laying forward,dd1 told me I had been asleep again) had headache all day.

oh no how insensitive, you should be a priority as if it is that waiting until January for keyhole & then you will be on a waiting list to have surgery. Is there any chance you can pay to go private?

All I can advise is that you keep going back to the doctors as that what I had to keep doing. If you ever need to talk you can email me as I know what you are going through. On came back to work last week after basically having 7 months off with it.

Try & keep your chin up.xx

No chance of private, can't afford to live very well at moment , living on bfs money as I depend on overtime and am not fit enough to do it

spoke to gp this am as I need more meds, she isn't that convinced by endometriosis but hoping that camera will do the trick.She ias also worried about the passing out thing too.

oh I am sorry. I couldnt afford private either.

the passing out is a worry but that could be because of the pain.

Well if you ever need to moan.

mummag · 14/12/2007 14:59

i had paons like this and it was overian cysts!! even after they were found male docs refused to admit that they caused pain. Have you been checked for that?

gorgeousfeebie · 14/12/2007 15:49

Oh yes male doctors. I had an eastern european gyne orginally and I had a cysts like a large orange & he said doesnt cause pain you have to get on with your life....& discharged me from hospital..

Just remembered gynae said bowel felt blocked, but haven't had any problems that way, could this be to do with if they are sticking together????

passed out a lot yesterday. Have started passing out during sex too so even if I actually feel up for it I pass out and can't carry on

OP posts:

gorgeousfeebie · 17/12/2007 09:39

Yes if they are sticking together they will be as they said mine felt blocked but doesnt mean you will have problems as i didnt only just before i had to go then i had pains.

Never had any problems with sex though. Must be a nightmare for you. Sending you a big hug.

emmatomATO · 17/12/2007 09:46

If you're passing out with a little one around, I reckon you should be calling an ambulance when you come round.

I'm just thinking if you pass out when bathing little one etc. - the consequences could be horrific and if you are in casualty they could hopefully help you in some way.

Wisteria · 17/12/2007 09:50

Hi Nymph - does sound like PID, have they ruled that out?

Hope you get some answers soon

What have they given you for pain relief?

Kids are 6 & 8 so not exactly little ones!Both capable of using phone etc too.

PID ruled out now, have co-codamol for pain relief though have found alcohol works better

Be mercinary, you need to be on the emergency list. FFS you are being put in the queue behind ingrowing toenails, and you are in dire danger of having a serious accident or hurting the kids when you keel over. EVERY time you pass out call for an ambulance, I would. Passing out is not normal, its serious. Enough referals and they will have you in.

Been to GP again today (well different one) about passing out. 5 times last night & 6 this am. he thinks its dehydration/blood sugar and why hasn't this been checked cos we can easily fix it!

Now have to get blood taken on Monday as I couldn't get to hospital this afternoon.
