  3. My health is getting me down today. Still no date for my laproscopic surgery and collecting new health issues during the long wait.

    So far, on top of #endometriosis and #adenomyosis I've had vitamin D3 deficiency, iron deficiency, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a pretty scary partial bowel obstruction.

    The NHS waiting list is over half a million strong so it could still be a while. I'm in the 12-week target group for surgery which is currently running at 65 weeks. #chronicillness

  4. Finally got my surgery on Monday for a #hysterectomy

    In true Jax fashion, I have spent every spare moment over the last 3 months reading and researching everything about the surgery and risk factors.

    The surgery is due to a 12cm #ovariancyst and #adenomyosis thankfully both ovaries and uterus tested clear for cancer.

    Scheduled surgery is for a total laparoscopic hysterectomy, but after careful consideration I want them to keep my cervix intact, as I am high risk for future prolapse but low risk for cervical cancer ( I don't have sex with men for a start!).

    I've tried to get a telephone conversation with surgeon 5 times over the last 2 weeks and still not had a call back.

    After 5 years of medical gaslighting I am not confident or strong enough for a battle to keep my cervix on the day of admission. I'm already not sleeping and seriously stressed about this!

    Last attempt to get a callback tomorrow and I will be letting them know that if I don't get a conversation with surgeon by end of day Friday, I won't be admitting myself for surgery on Monday.

    It shouldn't be this hard 😭

  9. Anyone on here stuggling with #endometriosis or #adenomyosis? I feel so frustrated with how long and mindwrecking the road to treatment is and even with the support of my partner and friends I'm sometimes in a very dark place with it.

  14. Quote (part of item 3):

    A hysterectomy is however the definitive treatment for adenomyosis – a disease where tissue from the uterine lining invades the muscle wall of the uterus. Adenomyosis also causes painful menstruation and infertility, and many patients have both conditions.
