no one will believe me
hi all, this is probably a long shot but i’m really at the end of my rope here.
attached is a list of symptoms i’ve been collecting over the last 3 or so years of experiencing these issues. it’s getting worse every month.
this year alone i’ve been to two different obgyns and been brushed off by both of them. so far i’ve had blood work and an ultrasound which showed nothing. they refuse to do a pap or any other testing. i had a gyn tell me to “get off tiktok” when i insisted she do blood work on me. i really truly feel like something is very wrong but no one will listen to me, it feels like a nightmare. i can’t sit in one more office or have one more appointment without answers. in october i was in the gyn office 4 times in one week. they won’t run tests, they gaslight me, tell me im scaring myself online. i am not getting my info online, this is my true lived experience and im begging for help at this point.
i am 19 and while ive always had pretty awful periods, this is nothing like ive ever experienced and it gets worse every single month. i’ve been on slynd since january and while its helped with excessive bleeding, i feel like it allowed me to actually pull back the curtain on my other symptoms and realize that this isn’t just a bad period.
i am miserable. my life has been on hold for months and i’m so ready to give up on seeking out help. all my friends and family have recommended their gynos and done their best to help me but i feel like even they’re starting to look at me like i’m making this up. i think people feel like i Want something to be wrong, but i just want an answer as to why im feeling like this.
if anyone recognizes these symptoms or could give me some advice i’d really appreciate it because i just don’t even know where to go from here. i just want someone to listen to me.
