I've had an ultrasound and been told it's not PCOS or Fibroids too. I've been to see so many doctors this year in regards to daily pain and etc and also a gynaecologist but he was useless and basically fobbed me off and told me he wouldn't consider surgery because of my weight and diagnosed me with Chronic Pelvic Pain. So I'm going back to my doctor next month to talk about everything, the meds I'm on (and the pill he basically forced on me which was Yasmin) and also how useless the gyno was in general. Hoping to get referred for a second opinion with a different gyno. For now, I'm on Mefenamic Acid for pain and it is helping a bit I think so I'm hoping it carries on working for me in the meantime x Kirsty Milwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194393691955283416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431798684760390949.post-87980499833536769402018-10-22T19:09:06.292+01:002018-10-22T19:09:06.292+01:00I'm so sorry to hear you went through this! Re...I'm so sorry to hear you went through this! Retail can and is brutal at times. But so happy to hear you were strong and quit that job! <br /><br />I have endo too... got diagnosed back in Jan 2015. Definitely push to have the surgery - that's the only way to know for sure if you have endometriosis. Took me roughly 5 years to be diagnosed - it's a painfully slow road but not many people knew about it then, so you may get identified a lot sooner!<br /><br />Zoey | www.zoeyolivia.comZoey Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668515501689058769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431798684760390949.post-67778123381321936742018-10-22T13:24:57.536+01:002018-10-22T13:24:57.536+01:00I chose to leave my job too due to anxiety, they j...I chose to leave my job too due to anxiety, they just didn't want to know and I felt like I had no support at all. It's a hard decision to make but ultimately it was the right one for me and it sounds like it was for you too, and it's so good that you've had your blog and that's worked out for you since. I wish more people understood about mental health and workplaces actually took an interest in how they can help rather than just making things worse! xx<br /><br />Tiffany x www.foodandotherloves.co.ukTiffany Timmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329740334886521293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431798684760390949.post-1599578538372950462018-10-21T21:23:30.921+01:002018-10-21T21:23:30.921+01:00This is such a brave post, sometimes I feel my job...This is such a brave post, sometimes I feel my job really drags me down but I'm always too worried to leave because of bills and things like that, I know I could easily get another job but I think it's breaking that 'comfort' and 'routine' that I'd maybe struggle with. You're actually so brave just handing in your notice even though you knew there was nothing else lines up, you're actually such an inspiration to put happiness before work!<br />Charlie | www.charlieswonderland.co.ukCharlie Severnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654413314718691408noreply@blogger.com
