Yeah, for over a year and a half now. The danish doctors just wouldn't do it.
It's surgery for endometriosis! The diet I'm on is a low histamine diet, I can only be on it for about a month at most, because it's too restricted for long time use. The purpose it serves is just to lower the amount of histamine in my body, which has an effect on pain response.
I've been on it for about a week.
My old doctors just told me to eat healthy (???), but there are plenty of healthy things I can't have on low histamine diet. Tomatoes, avocado, any type of legume, chili, dairy... There's a reason I can't eat it for very long.
Ah, that’s unfortunate, but so nice that you are getting somewhere with this new surgeon then!
I see
I mean, a lot of gps don’t really have any knowledge in nutrition and how some food groups can be bad/good for different people.... I feel like they’re often like “eat healthy and take these pills”, oof. Nothing against doctors of course, but they should kinda take nutrition into their practice
Yeah, but my friend with endometriosis was shocked, that I hadn't been referred to a dietitian. I should have been. The whole treatment has just been laughable to be honest. They just don't take me seriously, I have no idea why.
Maybe it's because I have a mental illness. It's mentioned a few times in my medical records from hospital visits regarding endometriosis.
One doctor thinks I dont have it, some other doctor thinks I do, I just... I'm tired of Danish doctors. They could've fixed it 10 years ago. I've waited long enough.
I'm paying for my surgery myself unfortunately... 6100 euros, oof.
That must have been a really awful thing to have to go through, like not being taken seriously by doctors in a health setting is kind of strange. Couldn’t they take some kind of test to check if you actually have it or not instead of speculating?
