Have endometriosis has the op and now going through extreme amounts of pain 12 months later. It’s so bad I’m on codine every day I’m exhausted and so over all of this. I’ve had a scan for the pain I’m still in it’s come back normal. I’m crying in the bath due to the pain I’ve had a 3 month period I’m on two different meds to stop periods that don’t work and every night my bath just fills with lots of clots. It’s really depressed me I struggle to do anything but go to work. Relationship is struggling as the house is a state constantly mainly my mess partner helps out when he can but he works 12 hour days and most weekends works from home. He understands I’m ill and does sympathies. But after a long day he comes home to a shit tip when I’ve been at home for 4 hours doing nothing (aka codine hot bath and bed). I don’t see friends anymore because I’m so exhausted. Work have not put me on an improvement plan due to me struggling my manger is so lovely and given me so much leeway but I just want to quite don’t see the point it anything at the moment I’m so down I cry every day I don’t no what to do I’ve paid to see a specialist and he was amazing but at 250 an appointment and 1.5 hours by train it’s a struggle to see him

Endometriosis is horrible, but there are many types of treatment available. You should not be having to put up with symptoms like this. Medication to stop periods & pain relief are short term measures. Can you ask your GP to refer you to a different gynaecologist so you don’t have to self pay?

It sounds awful. I know someone who had similar but it did get better and hopefully yours will soon too.
Have you been to see anyone who does homeopathic treatments? I've seen an increase in people around me visiting these clinics and eg one sibling who couldn't conceive for years and had 3 IVF treatments ended up going for homeopar medicine and has had a success. Another who has had really bad skin issues is much better now and I know a fair few people with other problems that have made them better.
Same with my neighbour who was heavily bleeding and doctors couldn't do anything to help after. It was an awful awful time for her.

I'm sorry I cannot be helpful in other ways but I really hope you find a way.

@Paddington23 hi I'm so sorry to hear about the pain, I'm typing this from my hot bath having just taken pain killers, I'm being investigated for endo right now.. I've been to my gp on and off for over 5 years with symptoms similar to yours.

In the end after being fobbed off I changed gp, I've hit gold and have been fast tracked Nhs as the symptoms are so bad, they are shocked I've been ignored for so long.

Anyway what I was going to say is big big hugs, and please look at new gps rather than self pay.. find one that listens, nobody should be suffering like this for that long. Thanks

Tell ur mum and your sister that u need their help

Singlenotsingle · 10/01/2019 22:41

I expect your mum knows you're ill, and didn't want to drag you out on a cold night.

Lozzerbmc · 10/01/2019 23:14

I had endo but it wasnt v painful generally so lucky in a way. Have you considered alternative therapies reflexology etc? Otherwise i’d pester gp for better relief

Paddington23 · 11/01/2019 07:43

They know I’m ill but not that I’ll they don’t really think I’m as ill as I am my mums very much one for pushing through and being strong and I’m being referred now to a clinic that specialised in endometriosis 6 years after I was told I might have it ffs only by chance did I find out about it

I had massage therapy for a while and it did help for about a day or two but so expensive

@Paddington23 oh fingers crossed they help you, it's awful and I find it so hard to explain to anyone why the symptoms are as for me they vary day to day.. so you end up with this no specific issue that you feel is easily dismissed as it's not visual or obvious what it is..

Paddington23 · 11/01/2019 08:18

I find it so hard to describe how I feel yesterday I was crying in pain tomorrow I may feel better who knows but I always feel I’m not believed when it comes to my pain
