Gyno sends me to Endo, Back and forth
Hi, I'm 29 years old and I am loosing hope, I need some advice on what to do, any guidance will be extremely appreciated.
3 Years ago I started to have the following symptoms:
Pelvic Pain, Irregular periods, No Libido, Night Sweats (drenched), etc. Back then I had no insurance so I was going to a clinic but I had to move to FL so I kinda put it aside while we settle in the new home.
1 Year ago started getting a lot worst, I ended up in the ER couple of times for hydration due to the drenching night sweats, the pain got worst, I started getting pimples in my face, gaining weight even getting dry eyes when I never had a similar problem. So I started by going to a Gynecologist he did all kinds of test on my (urine, blood even pop smear) based on his opinion I had nothing related to his field, so I went to an Endocrinologist, the first day I was there he saw the results from the Gyno and he said right away: you are producing way too much androgen, most likely you have Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) after couple of test he decided to put me in Birth Control to help the symptoms of PCOS and he advised me to go to a Gyno to look into the Pelvic Pain issue, based on his oppinion he said "PCOS does NOT give pelvic pain" so I went to the Gyno, the first thing she said is "stop taking the birth control pills now, based on your blood work you have a malfunctioning liver, she send me to do some more blood work and send me again to another Endo to check on my other symptoms. they just keep sending me from one Doctor to the other and if I ask them something they say "thats not my field that is the Gyno or Endo (depending whom I'm asking) that has to tell you what to do, in my "area" you are all right.
Im just really tired of going back and forth the symptoms get Worst and WORST by the day and I get no help,but maybe on this site someone that went thru this or know about it can help and give me an advise on what to do or where to go will be a blessing.
Thank you very much and God Bless.

God, I'm so sorry to hear about your ordeal! I know so well that whole bouncing around thing, back and forth, from doctor to doctor. My stuff is autoimmune, thyroid, adrenal, etc., and figuring out what's wrong has taken forever. Do you have an internist or a GP who could function as like the team captain of your specialists? That would be the best thing. It sounds like at least they are finding some abnormalities on your labs, which is helpful. (It could be worse. Your tests could come back normal!) I am so sorry you're having to suffer so much! Praying that you get resolution soon, but I think finding a dr who can lead the team for you would be very helpful! Good luck!
