Recently diagnosed over the phone had no support!

Hi,

I'm 34 years old, i had my thyroid removed at the beginning of the year due to Graves disease & a very poorly controlled over active thyroid. My Graves was diagnosed in 2017, I wasnt having any kind of periods not even spotting since around that time but it was put down to the Graves disease...as was every other thing i spoke to my GP about, including frequent urination, pelvic pain and more recently ..from about 2019 i was experiencing extremely sharp pains in my kidney region. I had a CT scan of my lower abdominal area in 2019 & it came back fine so again was blamed on my Graves disease.

I had my thyroid surgically removed in January this year but i am still yet to have a period, im still urinating alot especially at night and i still get these excruciatingly sharp pains in my kidney area, So in August I was sent for an ultrasound scan of my abdomen, whilst I was there though they decided to do an internal pelvic scan but noone said anything they just scanned and sent me on my way and I heard nothing back....until this past week!!

I had a telephone call from the doctors to tell me my scan results, the phonecall was so brief it literally lasted 4 minutes! I was told i have PCOS but not to worry she'd send me a text message so i could read up all about it myself and that if i had any questions i could find the answers online!!!!

I already suffer from depression and anxiety and this really hasnt helped, i went for a scan to check for kidney stones theres never been any discussion about PCOS so i have so many questions especially about the kidney pain and pelvic pain and frequent urination, im not happy at all.
