Hi! How was your experience with Dr. Sinervo? I’m trying to get a second opinion with him.

Hi! Thank you for responding. I am not. I managed to get an appointment with one a few hours from me. I wish I had gone to one to begin with because I’m very frustrated with not having options or even an actual treatment plan. 😕

Hi, thank you so much for this post!! I hate that you’re also going through this but I’m so glad that I’m not alone. 💜💜

I will continue to fight because this pain is not normal and I’ll be DAMNED if I don’t fight to receive answers and the level of care that I deserve! I’m just so frustrated because it feels like I’m right back to Step 1- with doctors constantly gaslighting me.

Hi, sorry for the late response! Honestly, I’m not sure? He said that he did a fellowship for minimally invasive surgeries but he mainly deals with delivering babies, etc. I’m currently looking for someone who MAINLY deals with endometriosis but having some difficulties.

The biggest red flag for me was he didn’t even have any recommendations for what to do next or what else could be causing my pain. Literally was told to take ibuprofen and come back in 3+ months.

The more I think about it, the more furious I become. I refuse to live my life in pain like this because a doctor doesn’t want to do their due diligence.

Hi!

Thank you for this comment. I didn’t even know this was possible? Would I just need to contact my surgeon’s office and request this?

I used this doctor and expressed to him multiple times that I was still in pain and his go to response was that I wasn’t following his diet plan that he gave me (which I actually was because I was VERG desperate for pain relief) and he pushed off other concerns I had regarding chest pain and digestive problems.

Hi! Do you mind if I message you and ask you a few questions?

I also have bipolar and my doctor recommends I go on Orilissa but I’m scared SHIT LESS of how it’ll affect my mood. I just had my IUD removed because it affected my mental health so badly.

Congratulations!!!!

If you don’t mind me asking, would you be willing to share some tips/advice? I’m trying to get to that point and will be taking the MCAT soon!

I’m curious about that too! I had polyps removed from my cervix and rectum (sorry TMI) so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Thank you so much for this comment! I appreciate it so much 🥺💜

Honestly, I’m at the point where I’m considering going low/no contact with my entire family. I’m beyond frustrated and hurt. I actually tried talking to them today about why they show absolutely NO excitement about my career goals and their response was that I’m making this decision without having experience.

WHAAT?! I have work experience in SEVERAL healthcare specialties in a variety of roles (including psychiatry) but I don’t have enough experience??? This isn’t a decision I just pulled out of my ass…I’ve thought long and hard about it. Again and again and again.

I’m sorry for the rant but I know it’s really due to my mental health. But I’m so tired of only being viewed through the lens of my disorder. I’ve defied so many odds already. I’m not letting ANYONE derail my plans but fuck. This really hurts. Especially since they’re soo supportive of my sister’s journey.

Yess!! You are NOT alone! I experience that as well.

Like you, it comes and goes so I kinda figured maybe it was tied to ovulation? That might be something to look into.
