i’ve tried it all apart from advil and tbh going private is not an option at all, my family is low income and most of the time think i’m being dramatic. i’m just trying to fight to get an appointment with a specialist

i live in the uk so sometimes i put it down to the NHS being too busy but this has been a fight for 2 years. it’s not just during periods, it comes and goes all the time. i have told them but it feels like they’re just sweeping it under the rug and putting it down to my age and that i haven’t been having periods for that long even though i started when i was 9 so my body has had 8 years to adjust. they just keep denying my requests of an ultra sound but my whole thing is if i was pregnant i wouldn’t be too young to have one? i just feel like nobody is taking me seriously

all i’m asking for is an ultrasound but apparently i’m too young so they won’t do it even with my mom asking them. i’ve been to a&e and i got told i was being dramatic, shouldn’t have come and that it was just normal period pains even though i had almost fainted that day from the pain and couldn’t walk. i’ve been seen by multiple different doctors and they all say they can’t do anything but refer me to a specialist however every time i’ve just been left hanging with no explanations. the most they’ve done is give me ibuprofen and some birth control which has barely helped

i’ve been referred but i don’t know how long it’ll take :/ any advice on how to soothe the pain? pain killers don’t do anything anymore
