Redan/Reich, Dr. Redan reviewed my records and feels that I am "an absolutely perfect" candidate for concious pain mapping. Due to budgetary constraints I can't afford to go thru with any surgery that will involve me paying the whole bill and I don't think my insurance will cover concious pain mapping even if they did accept insurance. But, I am seeing a Dr. close to home to see if he can figure out what is going on. I have had 2 negative laps after having had extensive colon adhesions prior (2 separate surgeries involved the colon). I have had endo in my left ovary, moderate adhesions elsewhere in the pelvic area and my subsequently had a hysterectomy and bilateral oopherectomy all separate surgeries. But, it is so nice to hear a success story...I hope that you will continue to feel great!

Love, Connie

P.S. I talked with my gyne the other day and he said he has no doubt that there is something there...he just wishes he could've found the problem after this last lap. He and I have talked (we have a good relationship) and he asked me to call and keep him updated on what I find out. >Hi All,
