#another doctor’s appt’

TMI under the cut, but I need to rant!

After waiting almost two months, I had my urologist appointment this morning, and boy, disappointed is an understatement for it. I expressed what I think my problem might be (IC or even OAB) and the doctor disregarded me completely when it comes to both things. No further testing being ran, other then the urine sample I had to give.... Nothing. I'm just supposed to take cranberry supplements for the UTI symptoms that have been persisting since late April. I'm... I'm at a loss for words here.

have a dr’s appointment tomorrow (AT LONG FUCKING LAST) so I did the maths on my migraine log that I’ve been keeping since my last appt in March and I by a good margin meet the criteria for chronic migraine (15 headache days a month out of which 8 are migraine days, for 3 consecutive months; no you do not want to know my numbers they’re slightly horrifying). And like. I knew that. But jesus fucking christ what an insanely relieving feeling it was to have it in front of me written in ink on paper

I have somehow gone the Most Roundabout Way of getting a normal doctor for someone who barely goes to see one.

Can't wait to go to the urologist again for him to just say the same thing he said last year before sending me on my way!

[desperatepleasures]

confirmed for fuck no I'm not going to work tomorrow 👍

(Guy who didn't go to his ear appointment 4 months ago voice): Oh god dammit my ear is muffled and ringing again-

My doctor messaging me at 12:30 in the morning to tell me she wants to do a telehealth visit abt the side effects I'm having with my new Lamotrigine dose (including worse insomnia than my usual insomnia, as u may have guessed lmao) is. something.

Friend, i saw your post about the promotion. I am rejoyced for the good news. May many more of these bright days light up the way. I wish you good luck in your new role and may strength come with it. We cheer for you.

thank you❤️ i saw this before going to sleep last night, and kept it in my mind

novel concept here, perhaps, but i think it would be super nice if the medical community in general started giving a shit about menstrual and other reproductive related pain beyond whether it affects someone's fertility or not. like someone please tell me why the only time my reproductive pain is taken seriously is when it relates to my ability to make a fucking baby, something i have absolutely zero interest in doing. why isn't the fact that i'm in pain reason enough to investigate further. why do i keep being recommended various forms of birth control as a blanket solution for my symptoms that nobody seems to care enough about to even attempt to investigate further. why does every concern i have about my pain get downplayed and swept aside in favour of reassurances about my fertility that i didn't ask for. why have i been running around in circles for more than ten years begging for someone to care enough about my pain to listen to me and do something about it. why.

just saw a new psychiatrist and he told me im too unstable for his practice and won't refill my meds

I think getting a hysterectomy would either help with my migraine issues or just give me different problems but I wont be able to know until next year minimum and even then I dont know if I can do a second surgery so soon. the way that birth control just utterly and completely fucks you over when youre starting it, when youre on it, and when youre getting off it is so. Idk if its even worth it to change my birth control if Im gonna get a hystrectomy in the vague soonish future even if I feel like absolute dogshit for an entire month for 1/3rd of the year.
