My story- part 2

So now you've been informed on all the factuals I'll continue with the next part of my story... after my  operation (technical name laproscapy) I was put on a course of contraceptive pills which would take me down to having a period every 3 months in hope to minimise the endometriosis growth. And indeed for a few months seeing me into the new year of 2015 I felt better until February/March time when all this pain returned alongside my 'favourite' symptom of all... NAUSEA. I found myself going about my day to day heaving and reaching when I felt sick, not eating, not sleeping and experiencing terrible pain in all of my stomach.

So obviously we returned to good old Dr Stier only to be told that the amount of pain I was experiencing and the location of the pain couldn't possibly be gynaecology based so referred me to my second specialist Dr Azante (my amazing gastreontologist) and after a series of tests including X-rays and MRIs and blood tests we found that I had a slow acting colon, which in short is where my colon doesn't exactly function normally and as a result my large intestines had become, to put it nicely 'blocked up' so another set of tablets were distributed and I couldn't help but feel like I was on a cycle around from previous months.

Gladly these tablets seemed to go their thing and alongside some diet advice I was on the road to recovery or that's what I thought, after a couple of months all my symptoms again returned but annoyingly by this point I couldn't tell which pain was which and it was so frustrating to figure out what was causing me all this discomfort!!! A new little symptom joined the team mr migraine, I could hardly make it to school and finally I was admitted to hospital with numbness and loss of feeling on all the left side on my body with excruciating pain, fortunately after CT scans and nephrology tests it was concluded that I had experienced a hemeplegic migraine attack. And after 4 days in hospital with my paediatric doctor Dr Kahn I was well enough to return home for a recovery over summer.
