What's wrong with doctors today?From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat Feb 7 13:12:49 2004
I've spent a good part of my day reading past forum messages & am wondering why so many of us have suffered for so long. While I have yet to be diagnosed with endo, which I'm sure will be with my lap next week, I'm wondering why it's taken this long to finally do something about it. I have only suffered for the past 8 years & always told there is nothing wrong with me, no one believing me, including family. I've been to urologists, gynecologists, uroynecologists, gen. practitioners, only to be bounced to someone else. Cystocopies, cat scans, IVPs, ultrasounds, etc. & after 7 years, the pain is so intense I live on vicodin & wonder has endo now invaded every part of my body? Would it have if someone took me seriously earlier and prevented it from getting worse? Why I may soon find relief from meds & surgery, what do you do about the psycho-logical scars that have happened, the worst revolving around intercourse? The things the doctors said, like good thing I had children because I couldn't have any now. Did you know I was hoping for another child,& you just dumped this on me like it didn't matter? Maybe if we sue them for the years of physical pain & mental anguish we suffered because of their misdiagnosis for years, then they would understand, & that all-around general answer of "it's just part of being a women" won't work anymore. Why am I so bitter? Because after years of pain, bowel & bladder problems that have become constant in the past year and changed how I live my life drastically, today I thought was going to be somewhat of a tolerable day, until I found a stale brown discharge in my panties. This is new.It came from my urethra. While blood in my urine was always there for the past 8 years,I've never had this. And for the first time in my life, I'm actually scared. Doctors need to wake up-we can't suffer like this anymore. They can find a way to increase a man's libido, they should find a better way to deal with this awful disease and other women-related problems. We can't suffer like this anymore. For every one good doctor, there are probably 25 bad ones. I'm hoping that after years of searching, I finally have a good one. Between my new doctor and this forum, I'm hoping that both will give me the strength to cope with this.
