Has anyone had all the symptoms but nothing has shown on scans. I'm actually not functioning and unsure as what to do next. The doctors won't refer me but I haven't eaten for ages and have a lot of right side bloating which is uncomfortable.. also a distended fallopian tube. I am at a loss as too what to do. I wondered if anyone had been in a similar position
Hi Clotted Cream
I am sorry to hear that you are having some symptoms that are causing you concern.
I see that you have been having lots of tests but they have not yet found out what is causing the problems. My feeling would be to go back to your GP (is there another one in your practice you could see?) Perhaps make a list of the symptoms that are concerning you most and work through them one by one- asking what could be causing them. Perhaps also consider keeping a diary for a few days for your symptoms to see if there is any pattern or anything that could be triggering them.
So for your bloating- is there something that you are eating that may be triggering it?
For the fallopian tube- you could ask if it could be due to a previous infection etc. Ask direct questions- why is my fallopian tube distended, what could be causing it and does it need treating.
Also I would express something like, I know that I have anxiety, but I am having these real symptoms, I know my own body and something doesn't feel right. Also something like you know that nothing has been seen on the scans, which is good but it doesn't explain why you are having these symptoms and you want them to look further into it.
I would advise staying away from google- it's tempting I know but its not particularly accurate and doesn't know you personally.
Perhaps also consider giving the Support Line a call and speaking with one of the nurses as they would be able to advise on the more medical things.
I hope this helps.
Jane
