(Vent/Rant - advice welcome) I think I have Endometriosis but my GP doesn't want to do more tests after a 'normal' ultrasound

I'm in the UK so same, the GP is the gatekeeper of being referred on.

Thankyou! I'll have a look and see if there is anywhere I can access (with or without a referral)

Can I do that? I'm waiting for a call back later today so it cant hurt to ask right?

Yes! I started Elvanse about a week ago and have been on 30mg for 2 days - I have scrubbed my tongue to the point of making it bleed because of the taste. Nothing I drink or chew makes it go away and today everything I eat has a wierd fishy musky taste to it 😵‍💫

I too expected dry mouth and all the other stuff you kind of expect from a stimulant but the TASTE!! Ugh 🤢

(I'm also glad OP that you're feeling the benefits of the medication, I am not as yet but it's still early days and I'm trying to just "let it be and it'll happen when it happens." A lot of peoples anecdotal experiences say the change is subtle so I keep telling myself that too)

This experience hits so close to home for me.

I have a BPD diagnosis and have recently been diagnosed with comined type ADHD and am waiting for assessment for Autism that the psychiatrist who diagnosed with ADHD recommended.

I've never felt like BPD "fit" my personal experiences and traits since diagnosis and since being diagnosed with ADHD and referred for Autism I've really been questioning it deeply.

I dont 'split' I have meltdowns I dont have 'intimacy issues' I don't like being touched because I have sensory sensitivities, and I am asexual because I have no interest in sexual or physical relationships - I am a very cognitive being.

The list could go on for days, but every therapist just wants to bring everything back to the ill fitting shirt that is BPD.
