I have recently had x-rays they show nothing. I, too, experience from nausea, vomitting, exteme migraines...you name it I get it! I had my first lap surgery March of 99, it showed adenomysis, I had a vaginal hyst. on April 13, 99, kept ovaries and tubes...had all the above symptoms...and was diagonosed with IBS in May of 99, of course that wasn't by problem. Then went through migraines, nausea vomitting, all the same symptoms I am again having. Finally on July 2nd of 2000 couldn't keep any food down, the gyn (new gyn) did another lap, and found extensive scar tissue and adhesions, had to remove ovaries and tubes, they had adhered to my pelvic cavity and intestines. I didn't realizez this could happen more than once. I am assuming this is what is hapening again. I see!

Karen I think my friends think I am nuts. They never call or are
supportive. I had a really hard time with that. I guess they think I
like being cut on !
My story is : March 1998 got sent to a gyn because of very bad periods.
His solution was a vag-hyst. said it would improve my quality of life.
No more periods, cool ! So I had that and the pain never went away so in
July had a laparscopic surgery. They found like one adhesion on my
ovarie I think. Still the pain did not go away and got severe. So
asked around and found this doc that was suppose to be very good. Yeah
right ! March of 1999 I had a laparectomy and was raped of anything
left, ovaries and apendixs. There was endo. cysts, adhesons ect... The
pain never went away and that doc was horrible. So we waited a while
and I tried everything from PT to acupucture. Everyone dared to say
they were going to fix me. By now we had the web and were studing
procedures and doctors. We thought it must be endo. so went to a endo.
specialist in Bend OR, Dr. David Redwine. Great people and the doc is
too. Now it has been 5 weeks post-op and am waiting to see if I am
better.
2 things I had no endo. and I remember where I got the idea that he did
not cut the adhesions lose, from he nurse ! She looked it up and came to
the same conclusion ? I went through a lot of grief thinking they were
still stuck ! Finally I called the doctor and he straighten me out. So
I have had 4 surgeries in 3 years. Not to bad compared to some ! Thanks
for asking, Jaynie
