I also no longer go to the ER. We seem to be treated like a joke by medical professionals. I once went after throwing up blood for three days and passing out and was told I was just dehydrated. I went back a couple days later because the vomiting and passing out continued, I had a doctor get two inches from my face and tell me I just needed to go home and "get some rest." I was in excruciating pain, was completely numb from the waist down, and everything outside of 6" in front of me was blurry and all they did was give me nausea medicine and a bag of fluids. I will be dead before I go back to the ER after that experience.

I went after my first surgery when I was bleeding through two pads an hour. I was about a week post op then just stopped bleeding. I went to the Er they didn't even look at me down there other than to give me cathader then said I was dehydrated and refused to give me anything for the pain even tho I kept insisting I still had pills from surgery and I would just take those if that was the issue. It wasn't just the pain freaking me out it was all the blood and then the absence. They put me on a slow drip of saline meant to assist me in my dehydration. I haven't gone back for endo since. That was over 10 years ago.

Yeah that's what has stopped me from going. What more could they do that I'm already doing. They can't stop the pain so to me it feels like a pointless visit.

I'm 6 months post op and my pain is already starting to come back so I'm thinking a specialist visit is due again 😔

Sending you healing vibes right back for some relief from the pain xxx

I'm so sorry to hear of your experiences @A MyEndometriosisTeam Member. <3

If your pain is not under control by the medications you have been prescribed Then it's a good time to go
