I'm fed up of people telling me it's in my head or that I have IBS blah blah blah...
Currently I'm taking the progesterone only pill as they thought I may have PMDD. The pain hasnt stopped, it did become less often but lately I've been getting very bad again. And being on that pill it's meant to stop my periods altogether and I still get them. It's jsut so frustrating. I feel like noone is listening to me... like theyre telling me how I'm feeling. I'm getting nowhere  and it's ruining my life (my education particularly) and I'm very depressed and lonely because of not knowing what was wrong with me and being lonely for 3 years. If I had the money I'd go private and ask for a laproscopy (is that what you call it?)
THREE years of wasted life... three years of tests that say nothings wrong with me... I don't like the ideas of operations and the idea of a camera through my belly button makes me feel sick and panic, but I'd give anything for the pain to go away.
I will sue if I end up with endo after all theyve told me.
Sorry if I seem really angry. Does anyone have any advise for me? Does anyone know how much it may cost to have the test done privately? ... I'm in UK by the way
thanks, Molly
