Finally Getting A Diagnosis, Medical Anxiety & Surgery

[@AnastasiaKings]

Finally made a video about everything that was going on! I’d appreciate the love on this one as it was a little harder to film than a normal vlog, and hope anyone experiencing the same finds this helpful 🤍

[@hannahcorbett7024]

Normally a silent watcher, but this totally made me think of some symptoms I have which I’ve just been suffering in silence going to book a doctors appointment and look into it!! Sending lots of love glad you got answers ❤

My sister in law has PCOS and always feared infertility. I fed her baby today. There’s always hope ❤

Women's health can be so overlooked by medical professionals. Well done for persevering. Wishing you health and happiness Ana

[@Jadesmallwood96]

I got told i have pcos at 19. I'm now 27, and it's calmed down a lot, and I have 2 beautiful children, so please try not to let it get you down it does get better over time. Sending love ❤️

Endo & PCOS girlie here! Hopefully it gives you some relief and THANK YOU so much for raising awareness about the diagnosis process! Join the PCOS/Endo community you will not regret it!!! ♥️

[@heidismith9270]

I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15, was told I’d never have children. I turned 30 this year with no cysts on my ovaries and my third little baby 🥰 you’ve got this girl xxx

[@brynapaige9777]

So nice to hear someone speaking out about health anxiety because girl it's horrific, I also suffer ( undiagnosed atm ) with similar issues you got this xx

[@emmabaxter966]

I was diagnosed with pcos at 13 had a blood transfusion as I’d lost so much blood from my period still struggling to this day proud of you Anna women’s health is so overlooked ❤️

[@ellawood2987]

Endometriosis, adenomyosis and PCOS girlie here!! As others have said, thank you so so much for posting this. You don’t understand how much awareness this will bring to these illnesses. The belly bloat is hard!! But you’ve got this ❤️

[@deborahrothoff9043]

I was diagnosed with PCOS a few weeks ago and it has been very overwhelming, so thank you so much for speaking about this and raising awareness, Anna. ❤

[@katetooley3089]

i went through this in 2020 and wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy, if a cancer advert came on or anything related i would immediately panic and crave reassurance. i went to the hospital a lot because i genuinely convinced myself i had everything going because of pains in my chest etc and sooo much more. and it was hell😭 love u ana for sharing this

[@Olivia55000]

Women’s health is very overlooked in the medical world and it shouldn’t be! I’m proud of you for how brave you’ve been throughout the year because it’s scary💞

[@issypilling8693]

i’m in exactly the same position as you, thank you for bringing awareness to this- especially being dismissed by doctors. It happens and it needs to be talked about more. sending you lots of love x

[@renee2768]

I was told I had PCOS this year. It was difficult, but I have met a wonderful community and learning more about it has made me feel so much better. Sending love Stasia xxx

[@sarahbainbridge8309]

A fellow pcos and ibs sufferer here, was diagnosed at 15, now 43. Also have a 16yeae old, so please don't worry about having children, I had 3 ops and hormone treatment to have my child. Just remember to look after yourself and rest when you have a flare up. X

[@freyakirk1028]

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16, was scary at the time as I ignored my doctor and googled what it was. Once I decided to listen to my family and the doctors I realised the symptoms can be managed and it’s not as bad as it seems ❤

[@kelsifowler4405]

You should be really proud of yourself for sharing this. I have cerebral palsy and I’m finding it really hard to accept my disability

[@caseyej]

exposure therapy really helps with health anxiety!! i used to avoid everything (like adverts etc) what i found that helped was to watch one advert once in a while. even if it’s the same advert it really does help. it won’t feel like it at the time but slowly you de sensitise yourself from it. i’ve gotten over the majority of my health anxiety but it’s moved onto something else now. i really wish you the best with everything, i know how hard it can be 💜

[@hannahwilde8939]

This video makes me so emotional because this was me a couple of months ago for years and years. It’s honestly the worst feeling and everything you say you had done I went through the exact same thing. Never related to a video more. So glad you’re better now thank you for sharing it really does help❤ x

[@connorfitz-patrick]

I'm sure so many will find this video comforting! Hope you're doing okay Ana ❤

[@oceanpier]

I found regular exercise eased my symptoms and the bloat. I also don't drink fizzy drinks as that can make the IBS flare up. I tend to eat less pasta and bread, and I use lactose free milk, plus no broccoli, which affects ibs. Obviously, they are things that have helped me. External stuff like meditation and yoga for anxiety and learning to decompress. ❤

[@aishahafejee3109]

I was also diagnosed with PCOS recently which was so scary, more awareness deffo needs to be raised about this, and i also suffer with health anxiety, this video was very relatable!! Appreciate you opening up xxx

[@danniellemcdowall]

I have pcos and suffered with my periods and infertility and now I'm 6 months pregnant, didn't think it would ever happen but it has so don't give up hope x

[@leahhinds8123]

Please could I just ask, did this happen naturally or did you have to go on medication for fertility (still natural but I hope you know what I mean!) I have no diagnosis but no pain symptoms, just horribly irregular periods! I’m just wondering because I’ve absolutely convinced myself I’m infertile! Still waiting on my gp! Thankyou🥰

[@hannahcairnie766]

Ana - thank you for making this video! I feel like I’ve just watched myself speaking for half an hour… genuinely about 90% of what you said… I experience. I’ve never EVER been listened to. You’ve given me some comfort, hopefully one day I’ll get answers. Glad you’ve got things sorted out💗x

[@tigerthrifts6806]

I have pcos but been experiencing a lot of pain which may or not be related but I also felt really dismissed by the gynaecologists and I’ve seen three! They just gave me some cream to help with hair growth and that was it!! There definitely needs to be more funding into the research of women’s health.

[@chloesnow4961]

Same! Something needs to be done!!!

[@sophhwilliamson]

I’m in the same boat with PCOS and endometriosis, thank you for speaking about it because it’s nice to feel seen sometimes - sending love angel🤍

[@ctamb6045]

I got diagnosed with PCOS at 23 and I’m 32 now and still struggling with it but time I’ve learned so much more about myself and my body and what works for me!!

[@abigailpriceharrison6396]

I’m proud of you for talking about this because it can’t have been easy! You’re so strong 🤍

[@emilystevenson9824]

I have PCOS aswell Anna and I know exactly how you feel. The Bloating is the worse part for me too & struggle so much with the symptoms. You’ve got this and things will get better ❤

[@LittleBitOfLife]

As someone with massive health anxiety and also panic attacks, PCOS, endo and IBS - I want to give you a big hug. Hang in there

[@taraconnelly7913]

Panic attacks are the worst. Had one once where i thought i was having a heart attack. You should be so proud of yourself how far you have come x

[@clarissahinman3943]

My auntie was diagnosed with PCos however after three rounds of ivf she had twins and they are now 16!! Stay postive ❤❤

[@sxphiejoanna]

Thank you for sharing this Ana. I’ve been also struggling really badly with medical anxiety to the point where I also struggled seeing the SUTC adverts and didn’t believe doctors. Mine turned out to be scar tissue from a hernia operation as well as anxiety induced tummy issues. It completely takes over and has made me unbelievably poorly on my most anxious days like graduation, holidays etc.

[@livhuson9300]

Ana!!! This is exactly what I have. I struggle BADLY with medical/health anxiety, I can’t watch certain things on the tv/my phone! I had such a similar experience to you, where I had convinced myself that I had ovarian cancer and never got listened to by medical professionals. It was then found out I had severe endometriosis & I suffer badly with it now. Sending you so much love ❤️

[@kaceylouisecox5319]

Ahh I love that you’ve spoken about this! I suffer with ovarian cysts and I felt exactly the same as you! Here if you want to talk to someone who has experienced similar!

[@emmaelliott]

currently waiting on a diagnosis from the doctor regarding both pcos and endometriosis… i’m on a waiting list to be referred to a gynaecologist and it could take up to 2 years 😅 so glad you were listened to and that other females can relate to you ❤

[@elizabetharmstrong3345]

i have endo plus multiple other things. Chronic pain is no joke, its a living hell. There are things out there to aid help such as a spinal cord stimulator. Hope you feel better soon x

[@ebonya7556]

Hey! What is a spinal cord stimulator? I have endo and the pain is ridiculous! x

[@ShanMartia]

I have been going through a similar thing the past year, and just got diagnosed with endometriosis, there are so many lovely woman and groups to join that can give advice! It’s so scary going through this but glad you have some answers!

[@jaynesmith3691]

Thank you for bringing awareness to pcos which I have and it took over 5 years for the diagnosis after suffering so much pain and medical anxiety and I agree there needs to be more research about pcos! X

[@katiejollands2689]

Health anxiety is so so hard. I’ve diagnosed myself so many times with different illnesses it’s hard xx

[@Gamergirl22-t2v]

It’s not talked about enough I’m so glad she’s spoken about it. I lost 2 years of my life to health anxiety

[@georginasykes5470]

I got diagnosed with pcos at 15 now 29 , so I completely sympathise with you and what you’re going through. I spent a whole chunk of my life petrified I couldn’t get pregnant too and I’ve been blessed with a beautiful boy who’s now 3 ! I also take metformin to help with periods / ovulation / weight gain so there are a lot of things out there that can help . Sending love ❤

[@annacampbell9035]

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and Adenmyosis 6 years ago and till this day the pain is unbearable even with morphine. Some things that cause flare ups for me is what I’m eating and drinking, defo look into the nutrition side of things as this can help with the pain. Trust the process and hopefully you can find a method for yourself to ease pains. You got this 😊

Gluten was a trigger for me and it’s in everything tasty 😢

[@sammimolly]

I also have pcos and I’m a diabetic (type 1) I was on a tablet to try give me a period but it never worked either. The doctor advise me to go in the pill for 3 months and then off for 6 and back on for 3 as being a diabetic I’m more prone to getting blod clots, I didn’t go on the pill in the end as being on it before gave me depression and I also wanted my body to have a natural period. I haven’t had one for 8 months now… hoping I one day do get one soon! Thank you for opening girl always here to talk and I appreciated this video massively ❤ big love ❤

Its called health anxiety ive struggled it with it for over 10 years... its a very compulsive mental condition i know how you feel i seek for reasurance it lasts for 5 mins then i i seek for it again.. even at the doc's...its very draining 🥺🖤

[@spiky10000]

I have PCOS/Endo and IBS. When you try and focus on other things it definitely helps so keeping busy ❤ also doing an elimination diet where you figure out what triggers it. I have cut out Caffine,Dairy and fizzy drinks and it's helped alot. Might be good to try and cut out coke as it was a huge trigger for me. Hope you are doing a bit better now ❤

[@Natx1711]

Yeah sugar and gluten are definitely trigger for me!

I'm 26 and have pcos, permanently putting weight on and it's extremely hard to loose it, which in turn has made my pcos and bleeding worse, I have a 4 year old now, but it took me over a year of trying and fertility meds to get pregnant. Even with those meds now I haven't stopped bleeding in almost a year and I've been told I won't be able to get pregnant now.. I wish my doctors had more time for me like yours do❤

So now I’ve started my career full time the past couple months and it’s affordable, I hope to go private I just need answers now!!

[@NaiNai584]

I had it too. The darkest time in my life. I went through cognitive behavioural therapy which helped.

[@jordanskyfinding7767]

If you haven’t already, look at Fodmap diet for IBS! I got diagnosed recently too and was told that so many of our usual “safe foods” have less processable elements (the fodmaps) and some of these can cause flare ups. Garlic and onion are two on the list😢😂😂 I still eat a normal diet, but found some of the info really useful in finding a couple of my sneakier triggers (broccoli for example) xxx

[@jordanskyfinding7767]

ALSO. Get some buscopan. It really takes the edge off of the bad flare ups. I’ve been bent over with pain and will take one and it’ll ease up and become bearable within like 30-60 mins. Not always, but it has saved my day MANY times

[@jordanskyfinding7767]

Stress is also a huge trigger for me. Stress may be a huge trigger for you too. X

[@itsvorny]

I have just had a cyst removed which they thought was on my ovary but turns out it wasn’t and I was experiencing the same things as you! Let me tell you, it gets better and I had it removed as of this year and I’m thriving again. I completely understand what you’re going through and I also spoke about it on my YT channel too ❤

[@charlotteknight4616]

I had an unrelated cyst removed a few years ago, then my PCOS got picked up but no one told me for years. I was laughed at by doctors because j wasn't "fat and hairy"when I went to appointments about it

[@RaZZmaTazzzzzzzzzzZZ]

With IBS caffeine can be a massive trigger.. Medical anxiety is something ive struggled with for roughly 15 years and it has not gone away.. i've been given multiple diagnosis for different things but im still convinced its something else. I was misdiagnosed once as a young teen and i knew it was wrong and it took ten years to be told i was misdiagnosed. Still dont have a definite answer but i just dont have the energy to fight for it. Medical gaslighting sucks.

I also have what I suspect is 100% IBS. Started off with the worst stomach pains to the point where I’d have to go to A&E lay on the floor in pain, and having flare ups from certain foods. (Mainly bread) I went to the doctors multiple times where they’ve just kept saying I’m fine and it’s probably inflammation..
