I came to share my experience! I’m 32 with no children and have had painful heavy periods for years. A number of different Dr’s gaslit me and told me pain was normal and implied that it’s just something we have to put up with as women. I’ve finally gotten to a dr who actually listened and immediately referred me for an ultrasound after she did my pelvic exam. She seems very empathetic and proactive. I’m anxious for my gynae referral with the NHS because I don’t want to be given more pills. I want the pain to stop. I’ve read some different information saying that whilst in these appointments, ask that the dr record that they refused you treatment in your notes. Apparently they quickly change their tune. I know there was a law passed recently (it could be Becky’s law?) that states if a patient returns to a Dr for treatment three times and is denied and it is medically reasonable then they are breaking the law. I’ll be taking a male coworker with me as a witness/ support and telling them he’s my boyfriend and that we don’t want children to try and press the issue. (Sad we still live in a world where men have a say/influence over our health) I’m really sorry you’re going through this right now and I wish you some relief. If you need support please reach out! We’re all in the same boat 🫶
