writes:I have been sick off and on for three years following an incomplete miscarriage, I was then regularly sick with blood in my vomit. They diagnosed me with an ulcer and treated me and I had an endoscopy months later which showed no ulcer but damage to the esophogus from being sick hard. They still say I have an ulcer but normal stomach medication doesn't make me feel better.My periods are abnormal it is more like when I was miscarrying. The doctor keeps asking if I am pregnant. I have been bleeding for over a month now. My stomach is swollen but soft and it can be painful, like a tearing pain. My womb is tilted backward.Generally I am unwell, fainting, vomiting, bleeding. I'm not sure what is up and the doctors, when I go to them talk to me like it's nothing. 'Oh periods are always different after you've been pregnant' They diagnosed me with endometriosis too but they don't know for sure. I had a pelvic scan a while back which showed a bump, but I didn't have an appointment with a doctor and noone explained it to me, the nurse asked me if that's where I had pain, they measured it and she said I would hear from my gynaecologist, but I had been referred from inpatients and I never heard anything about this.I'm not sure what I should be wanting them to focus on, it seems like they can only focus on one thing at a time, the vomiting, the bleeding or the fainting. There are other things too, palpitations and things.What could be wrong and how do i get them to take me seriously.

Go in with a written list of all your symptoms and ask them to look at you as a whole.
If he fobs you off then you can legally ask for a second opinion.
Good Luck!! xx
