 The pain is getting worse!
Hey,
I just needed to get this off my chest. I am really fed up with the undiagnosed but very apparent pain I am in. I decided last night to worte down all of my symptoms, to see if I could make sense of them. I will take the list to my gynae in a couple of weeks. I try using painkillers but they only take the edge off. I am losing sleep every night, feel low and thoroughly fed up. My symptoms seem to be less PCOS and more Endometreosis related in my opinion!
I just wanted to write my list on here, and if you don't mind reading it, please could you let me know whether it sounds like endo to you (if you have endo).
Thank you.
So, here goes...
- very painful periods, regardless of length or flow
- pain during and after sex and any internal examination e.g. ultrasound
- chronic pelvic and lower back pain
- pain in and around vagina
- painful bowel movements
- pain before and duing urination
- nausea, fatigue, lack of sleep, depression
- pain in legs
- clots in periods
- headaches
- pain in neck, arms, shoulders
- VERY sore ovaries and uterus
- odd tenderness in certain ares of abdomen, gets worse before and after period.
These symptoms are constant.
I'm bored and feeling so rubbish today. I feel like when I tell a doctor this, they treat me like a hypochondriac! But it is true, I live with it every day!
Anyway, please let me know what you think... xx |
