After 19 long ass years of absolute misery with my periods, I've skinted myself to pay for private healthcare and I FINALLY have a diagnosis.
I've got severe endometriosis. It's destroyed my womb and embedded itself deep, it's spread all over my bladder and it's now spreading up my side. It's so bad I've been told there's nothing they can do to remove bits of it and it's just a case of trying to manage it going forward. I've got a meeting tomorrow to discuss my options.
I've been unable to have children, I've been in constant pain and constantly bleeding and the NHS have made me believe its all in my head and told me it's just hormonal.
I've had so much pain and suffering more or less my whole life and because its been left for so long the future doesn't look good for any improvement.
I'm distraught, I'm angry, but at the same time I'm oddly relieved?
