So I called the doctors surgery and they said the nurse CAN'T diagnose me over the phone I have to go down there which I can't do as I was told I didn't have to.
I feel a little better after loads of water so hope it won't come back badly.
I'm just so depressed with everything at the moment. I just feel completely useless and pointless and sh*t like this doesn't help. I really don't know what to do anymore. I have been considering anti depressants but don't like the idea of that. Coming off the pill might help but then I'm back to horrendous pain 24/7. Sorry guys, I'm at the end and have nowhere to go and no-one to turn to.

I'm sorry you are having such a rough go Gem. I can't believe the Dr.'s are behaving this way. Just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts. I hope you see some light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Thanks for all your hugs and thoughts. I fell asleep out of sheer frustration after that! I'm going to shower and visit a friend to try and buck myself up a bit this evening. I think I need to get my thoughts away from the crappy side of things.

I hope you can cheer up a little. I don't like the idea of you just not treating the UTI though but it sounds like you can't get anyone to help you?? That just really infuriates me. I feel bad gem! I wish I could help  I hope you have a nice evening and feel better tomorrow. |

Gem this makes me so upset I am so sorry that the doctors are doing this to you. It makes me angry because I know how you feel, it's so hard to not feel abandoned and just totally not cared about when the only people who can help you are dismissing you. You deserve better! I'm glad you came back, we've missed you and I hope you know that we'll always be here for you, even if you don't feel like you have much positive to say. For what it's worth, I think right now the two of us are in a similar boat emotion-wise.. I've been a little less frequent and a little less bubbly on the boards since I don't feel like I've got much positive to say, and don't want to be a total debbie downer.. SO, I want you to know, you have my facebook, and you are more than welcome to be my bitch buddy ANY day.  Love you beautiful! |

Oh ps, I came here to write a bitch.. but got distracted because Gem's story made me so angry for her.. but my bitch is that I'm spotting AGAIN!!! I had one week of no spotting, and now I'm right back at it. So funny to me that continuous bc is supposed to prevent you from having a period, but instead it's making me sort of always partially on my period. Hah.

A former member on here told me that the key to being on continuous birth control and not spot is to make sure you take the pill at the EXACT same time every day. She said even if she was like 10 minutes off she'd start spotting. She had to take the pill on the minute and it fixed her spotting problem.

Kind of hard to do with the Nuvaring, though!

Tee hee Karen. Yes, kind of hard Hmm, I wonder actually, does the Nuvaring even release its hormones at the same time each day? Maybe that's the problem! |

Oh f**k never mind. I forgot you were on the nuva ring. The hormone diffusion of the nuva ring is constant so that doesn't help you at all.
I feel like a dipsh*t now.

I have a bitch that I think I need to unload:
Do you know how annoying it is when I tell a fellow classmate that I'm only applying to D.O. schools?
VERY, you know why? Because they get this look on their face like "Why the hell do you want to do THAT?"
Then they ask a stream of questions suggesting that a D.O. isn't a real doctor. It pisses me off to no end. Welcome to your future doctors folks!
Stupid jerks.
