F*cking Tired of It

D

My periods last for extremely long time periods. My longest period was 64 days, non stop, and the entire time it was HEAVY. It's this way because I have a lot of health issues and so far they haven't found anything to help. My firsr gynecologist was a huge help, but when I got married I moved and it was 2 hours away from that doctor. So I found a new one closer to me, who waa HIGHLY reccomended. I went to see her and she undiagnosed my PCOS saying I didn't have it because she "Didn't see any signs of it." She went on and on about how I had no facial hair or acne, which is TWO of the MANY synptoms PCOS can cause. She didn't even examine me. She sat three feet from me and just looked at me. She kept saying I didn't have PCOS because no acne and no facial hair. Even after I explained to her I wax VERY often, and I had just gotten over a bad breakout the day before. She didn't listen to me at all, and put me on a hormone pill (part of my health problems is a hormone imbalance). She gave me NO information about this pill, how long to take it, or anything. When I picked it up at th e pharmacy I had the pharmacist explain everything. Well the medicine was only a thirty day prescription so I thought I'd have to call to get refills. I called the doctor to get a refill set up, but got no answer. I called this doctor for three weeks only to finally get an answer after 24 days of trying to contact them, and they told me I couldn't get a refill and that it was "only for a month" to "straighten out" my wacky period. During this time after the medicine was leaving my system, my period became wacky again, I had extreme side effects to the medicine leaving my system, and the period that came back was the heaviest it had ever been. Needless to say I left that doctor to find another one. I went to another doctor, it was a small family owned clinic, and I went in at 12:30pm to fill out paperwork. My appointment was at 1:10pm. At 1:30pm they called me back to a room, made me undress from the waist down, and wanted me to sit on a table with no cloth or protective sheet between me and the table. I finally got them to give me a sheet to sit on (which sitting on a bare table is VERY unhygenic). Then at 2:45, after an hour or so of waiting, I got fed up, and made mg husband drive me home while I called my mother to cry about not getting any help. I am sick and fucking tired of not getting any help with these periods. Its already to the point It hurts to wear pads OR use tampons. I sit at home free bleeding all day, and when I do leave my house I have emotional breakdowns because of it. No doctor seems to want to help and I can't get a hysterectomy until I am 30 unless it is considered "life threatening" and its not.
