HelpFrom: Cassie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 9 Nov 2000 14:59:48 -0600 (CST)
Help me. I am twenty years old and started my period at nine. At eleven years old I was diagnosed with disfuction uterine bleeding which led to me being put on Birth Control pills to cotrol the bleeding. I thought horrible cramps and PMS were just part of being a woman, but it is not. My periods literally dehabilitate me. Then one week ago I woke up with cramping. I thought it was my period until I started vomitting. I called my doctor and he was too busy to see me but stressed the point I needed to be seen. Well not wanting to make something and of nothing and not wanting to pay a $50.00 co-pay at the ER I ignored it. Until that night. I was at church when the cramps got so bad it took me to my knees and gush of blood came out of me vaginally. In the ambulance my blood pressure dropped to 88/24, but it came back up once I got to the emergency room. I was given morphine for the pain, a prescription of Vicoden and sent home. I went to see an ob/gyn the following day I had never seen before and he told me I had cervical stenosis and could die over the weekend without a DNC then told me he could not perform one for over a month. So here I sit in so much pain I am taking 2-3 vicoden a day and about one percoset. I am trying to go see a new ob/gyn, but no doctors have even emergency appointments open this week I have to wait one more week. I am in so much pain I can hardly function without painkillers and yet I am a lightweight and the painkillers make it so I can't think or motivate all I do is sleep. I hurt, I am scared, tired, I want to have children eventually and I don't know what to do or who to turn to??????????????????????
