No help with managing hormonal conditions (PCOS), healthy BMI and only support is to be told take ibuprofen. Suffering with long term fatigue put down to low ferritin levels. Refused to do any investigations as to why. Have been told to take iron tablets which I can't take due to the side effects, either being stuck on the toilet or unable to go which is a flip of the coin. This impacts my ability to do my own job as a nurse so I can't take them. I have tried liquid iron which gives me side effects of stomach cramping and vomiting but despite telling he doctor this I was told "well there isn't anything we can do. You have to take the tablets as you can't have an infusion as your levels aren't low enough". I have felt really let down by the practice. Especially when they took 9months to give me my ultrasound results which stated I had PCOS. They refuse to investigate any of the symptoms I experience. I am young, I lift weights 3/4 times a week, walk 12k steps a day, I eat well and have a healthy BMI. What more can I do? They refuse to investigate why a young fit person is experiencing all the symptoms I do. It's disgusting.
"Repeated poor experience. "
