 Overwhelmed
Hi everyone,
I am new to this site. I came across it in the middle of the night recently while looking for treatment methods and just general information. I am hoping that someone can help me figure out what to do next. I feel as though I am coming to the end of my rope.
Okay so a bit of background..two years ago I started feeling very lethargic, my period stopped completely, I gained 100lbs, and started intermittently feeling pain. This began the first round of tests and doctors visits which resulted in my drivers liscense being reviewed because I fainted, me being put on anti-depressants which did nothing but make me sad, and all of that left me still with no real diagnosis.
Several months later I was on vacation and had this horrible stabbing pain which lasted several hours and ended with several blood clots the size of softballs. I made an appt. with my doctor but while I waited the pain became so severe that I would suddenly buckle and scream The ER saw cysts. The next day the gyn said they weren't there. Several months of horrifying pain, painful tests, doctors blaming me for my syptoms, and pain medication that seemed to get stronger and stronger eack week.(started with perscription motrin ended with morphine and percaset) The doctors could find nothing and I was in so much pain that I could not walk around. The doctors also were cruela nd vicious in the way they dealt with me.
Next I found a homeopathic doctor who was able to diagnos me with endometriosis and celiac disease. She treated me seemingly succesfully for almost a year. However I still was gaining weight and could not loose any even after excluding soy, red meat, gluten, dairy, and processed foods. I also have only had two periods in the last two years both which had so much blood they had to manually close the opening to my uterus.
Now the old symptoms are coming back. My new doctors are certain that I have PCOS with insulin resistance but no one has done laproscopic surgery. I am a junior at University and just need this to be done I want to be a kid!
Sorry that was so long but my main question is what should I do next? Laproscopy? Metaformin? Keep treating naturally? Will laproscopic take me out of school? I miss so much already from pain and other ailments. I know only I can make the decision but I could really use some help.
Thank you in advance for reading this whole thing. |
