Ive Gone To Family Doctor And Psykatrist And Psychologists And Other Spesilised Psyche/brain Doctors And Nurses Im So Sick Of It - Tumblr Posts
All my period bleeding family has endometriosis, most got their uterus removed after having enough children by >21 (age not correlated).
My periods get so bad I'm paralysed in bed, crying out in pain, whishing I was dead. I'm on p-pills now which removes my period almost entirely. I get it once half a year, aka every 6 months; oooor if my stress catches up to me and overrides the pills.
Doctors have all said "it's normal". I'm already so much at the doctors just trying to get help for my mental issues as it's affecting every aspect of my life, I don't wanna start the same journey but for my period pains. I just can't.
But I will after I'm done with the mental issue doctor stuff. I've been fighting for myself and going to all kinds of doctors for 7 years already, it must end soon, right?
..right?
Idk what my point was, prob to show that we're kinda fucked no matter what country we're in. I'm in 'wonderful, healthy Norway' and our medical system is not perfect. It's flawed. I've endured my period pains for so long. I have to choose what kind of pain to prioritise and fight for to get help with. I have chronic back and feet pains, period pains and my multiple mental struggles. 7 years of trying to get help.
So many people who get periods are like “Ugh it sucks that having a menstrual cycle makes you almost die every month” like no that’s not normal you need to go to the doctor
