I feel so alone

Post a new topicby Em2508 on Thu Dec 18, 2008 4:55 pm

Hello everyone. I was really pleased to find this site, i have been longing for so long for some support about PID and I have noticed on some forums no one ever talks about it which just made me feel even worse. Basically i dont know what has been happening to me, i slept with someone middle of Sept with condoms and i will admit it was pretty hard (sorry to be graphic) but not in a bad way if that makes sense. 3 weeks later i started getting period pains, not hugely painful just annoying, it was just a constant dull ache that i would wake up with in the morning and painkillers wouldnt shift it, neither would alcohol when i was out having a few drinks with friends, this worried me as i know something was probably wrong. previous to this i had a kidney infection so i went to the doctor about the period pains and he said it might be all the antibiotics mucking with my pill (i am on cilest) and to see how i go over the next two cycles. so i had my period, it came was normal and it went when it should but i still had period pains. i didnt have a fever, no bleeding, nausea, no discharge, odour or pain when urinating just period pains and lower back pain sometimes. i went back to the doctor and refused to move until something was done i was getting wound up with the annoying pain all the time. he rushed me through for swabs and when he did a manual examination it was agonising, he told me i probably had a pelvic infection. he put me on Doxycilline and i took this for 17 days. i got my results, all was clear which although was good, frustrated me at the same time as i didnt know what was wrong. the period pains started to subside as i took the pills, but i had bad ovary pain i am sure i had a cyst that burst on my right side even though the doctor told me you dont ovulate on the pill. i finished the course of antibiotics, didnt feel ill or anything but i did get a lot of discharge without any odour, was clear to whitish colour. i did a ph test, it was 4.0 normal. i went back to the doctor, she said my cervix was very red and put me on Noroflaxacin. during this time i had an ultrasound, everything came back normal. i was also referred to a gyno, i was happy with this as i felt i might be getting somewhere. i went the other day and was very let down, she didnt seem commited to my problem at all, sometimes even smirking and making me feel like i was totally overreacting. she did an internal and said everything looked and felt fine. she made me feel stupid to be honest so i still dont know what has been happening to me. i am now on my period and am using towels, i am too scared to use tampons. does anyone think this was a PID? i am winding myself up constantly about it i am so upset i cant think straight, its xmas next week i am too upset to even think about it and am sick of putting on a brave face. i have never had any STD's i am screened every yr by choice and its always been clear. i do have two nabothian cysts on my cervix she said they will heal on their own, is this right?

thank you for reading
