Went to the doctors - he was actually super nice about everything. I'm on a stronger dose of my medication now, but because of that when I take it I can only take it twice a day - given that my bad days tend to be whole day long affairs, that might mean it doesn't overall do much for me, but we'll see. He seemed to think that being stressed out from pain means you end up in more pain, so maybe a stronger painkiller to begin with will help.

He also said to wait for the results of my test tomorrow before I make any further appointments to discuss my unusual bleeding, so that's in hand I guess. He didn't seem to think any of the symptoms I talked about were particularly 'sinister', so that's quite reassuring, just have to have the tests and see if anything comes of them. I've got my pills and I've had a bath so I'm all set up for it now.

Also voted, although I'm not sure it really matters, my seat's pretty safe. Only UKIP can challenge them, claim the UKIP leaflets! I sincerely hope UKIP doesn't challenge them. I'm vaguely interested in the results tomorrow, but most people seem to think nothing will really be decided for at least a few days anyway.

Do you take buscopan as well as your pain killer? You can take it with any painkiller, you can buy it in chemists, you can take it ALL DAY. It's not really really good, but I do take it along with painkillers when I have cramps and it sort of makes them a but further removed or something.

Hope it goes okay tomorrow. x

I don't take anything alongside my painkiller, do you need a prescription for buscopan? I'm going to try the new strength of my stuff for a bit and see how it works out on its own, but if I keep having problems I'm willing to consider other options now.

Nope, it's not prescription, you can just buy it. They sell a periods version and an ibs version and they're identical except for saying different things.

Also I think I maybe already said, but I resisted the pill for years and now I'm on the minipill and just don't have periods any more and have had literally no side effects from it, which I totally know is different for everyone, but it wasn't nearly as awful as I'd expected it to be is all I'm saying if you might want to consider it at some point.

I hope the dr put your mind at rest a little bit. Good luck for tomorrow.
