Why I have a fear of doctors?
As some of you may realize i got diagnosed younger than the average endo patient and for that i am grateful.
I was only diagnosed so early because my current doctor pushed for me and tried his best to educate me in short space of time.
When my symptoms were at its peak, i could not talk, walk or think during a bad endo day but i soon started realizing that it went beyond my period... I was in pain every day just some worse than others but i thought it was normal..i was suffering since 11.
My first doctor experience when it came to this...she didnt even bring up endo, she was heavily concerned with a dermoid cyst i had in one of my ovaries and attempted to make me feel guilty for not going the route of surgery. Ony to later find out sis was only rushing me to surgery because all she saw with me was a large pay check.
The next doctor experience i had that was horrible... he completely disregarded me and made me out to look like i was being dramatic and crazy. He did not take me seriously at all and it wasnt for the referral i went with...would have probably sent me home. Only after my surgery... did all of sudden become interested in me what I was going through because all he kept going on about was the fact that i was a “a rare presentation of endo”
it is difficult for me to put my trust in doctors because i never know who is being genuine about wanting to help me or if i am just another case study or science experiment.
As i go through my journey I will talk about where I am in this. I do have an amazing doctor, who fought for me and cared about me but with Corona I am gonna need another sooooo wish me luck
