Dear Endometriosis, You have invaded my life like a bad controlling boyfriend, and along that same line of thought, you find many new ways to piss me off every once in a while. But, you have taught me much, and like a bad boyfriend situation, I am breaking chains secretly and taking the lessons when I go. But until the time when I can say 'ciao for now', I will keep in mind the adage 'keep your friends close, and your enemies closer' I'm watching you, chica. Love you in a stalky manner... Shaheeda Cherry 'Haven't crapped my pants in a while, yay' Endo Girl

Stupid anaesthetist, I don't see what my home life has to do with back pain. Dont' call my sister my hal sister, don't call me south american, don't say I was cure of depression by taking prozac. Do not presume to call me an unwanted baby. What does that have to do with a curved spine? Oh and for the love of grass and daisies, when I come asking for ways top alleviate pain MYSELF including asking for PPT and a TeNS... don't put in weird comments that make me sound like a drug seeker. I think I hate you, Shaheeda.

I'm not kidding I'm so angry I could puke. I don't know that I have ever been this angry. I will go to his clinic and tell him he's a doctor with unwanted opinions. Oh and my having pain at the time of my sister's period (beginning of the cycle, he called it the middle... DAAAAH wrong) is 'astonishing' to him. Yes, no sh*t Sherlock, I would similarly like to not be astonished by debilitating increase in pain every month despite being amenorrhoeic.

OK cherry, I really try to refrain from knocking this NHS system you guys have there but is there ANY way you have ANY choice in who you see? Can you go somewhere else? The care you are getting is just absolute sh*t and it makes me so angry that they let you live like this and don't give two sh*ts about taking time to pay attention to you. Is there anything you can do to see someone else? I can not get my head wrapped around how awful you have been treated. It just infuriates me.

Yeah it's not so much the NHS but more that freaking trial and error you go through. I really need to get a TeNS asap so I'll see him in-clinic but if I can't reach a point of satisfaction with him I will tell him there and then to transfer me to another pain doctor. They know that we get access to these letters. And he must think I'm really not all there if he reckons I cannot read between the lines of this letter and it all seems to be subtly saying that I have a problem with painkillers and probably in my head. I just feel so insulted. I despise the fact that you trust these people with the intimate details of your life, everything, to help them take better care of you, and they use it against you. I don't trust people and this doesn't help. I am so so angry. I know I keep saying it but it's just upset me and I am at such a loss as to how I calm down enough to even eat.

I've kinda come to the conclusion that he is a pompous arse and Neil is a big ol disappointment. I will tell them both what I think of them. It probably won't change how they view and deal with patients but it will make me feel better to have at least spoken honestly about how their letters have made me feel.

CHerry AAAAAARGH! I'm super pissed. What J said, totally, praying for YOU to not KILL these f**kING IDIOTS jeeze. This kind of sh*t, the misinformation, is the real tragedy of endo and like diseases. All caused by ignorance and sh*ttyness. Love you. Don't want to be too negative since obviously you need support and feel bad enough already. Praying. x

Aw no honestly I have calmed down now. I think the fact that you guys seem outraged too has made me feel less impotent about it all. My sister has come home and asked and got all pissed off as well. I'm really offended about the unwanted baby thing. I don't know why cos I've always had an awareness of it. Maybe because I don't know why he thinks it's relevant. I really appreciate that you guys listen, and give a crap, and then listen again.

Um, WOW, that's quite insensitive and unnecessary. He needs to be told that his creative writing needs to be kept out of his professional life. Please please please correct this, Cher, any way that you can! Can you file a complaint to anyone about this if he's a d*ck about it?

I really do have to. I'll be polite but we're not friends anymore, me and Dr Frank. He can happily stick his painkillers I want nothing more of tablets I just need help in treating and coping with the chronic and acute pain.

Dear People of the medical field, in lieu of Cherry's most recent idiocy from you as well as my own I feel I must address you. We live a world apart and yet your medical mishandling of patients seems to cross cultural barriers. It amazes me that they allowed you to graduate from Medical school. I don't know what F*cked up individual started the whole "give antidepressants for pain" but I would like to shove a sharp stick up your *ss and see if the antidepressant helps you! I don't know why when your stumped by a complicated case, somehow its the patients fault. we can't help your stupidity and its not our fault that you didn't learn anything in Medical school, you moron! Please find a new career ASAP! Sincerely, The ladies of Endo Resolved!
