So, I have my first endo appointment at the beginning of March, which means I need to be able to explain what the problem is and what my goals are. And that's something I have to prepare in advance, otherwise all I'll be able to come up with in the appointment is something vague along the lines of "Uh, E makes me feel like crap. I need E blockers, I guess." I suspect the endo's going to want something more helpful than that.
I know what I want: I want my E to get down to a comfortable level, and if it's at all possible to get hysto on the national health then I want one of those too, because I know I have a semi-functional uterus and I want it out*. What I don't know is how to explain exactly how E makes me feel like crap.
Does anyone have any tips for how to explain the physical discomfort in a way that actually makes sense? And does anyone have any tips for how I can talk about dysphoria without my brain doing the blue screen of death (coz then I freeze up and can't really talk coherently)?
*and believe me, it WILL come out sometime, but right now I can't afford it if the national health won't cover it.
