Hi everyone, I'm Kathryn and I've been reading your postings for the
last few days. I've made a few comments but mostly have been a fly on
the wall soaking up as much information as possible.
I'm married and have a son in college. I manage apts in Greensboro, NC
and live in the country with three dogs and four cats.
My adhesions were diagnosed Oct. 1999 when my ovaries were removed. In
the last couple of months I am beginning to have problems return
indicating that they (adhesions) are returning. In reading your
responses to the symptoms and problems caused by adhesions I am now
reassured that I am not a looney tune. As a child I was punished if I
was taken to the doctor and nothing was wrong with me so I am very
fearful of things being declared as IN MY HEAD ! Some things just can't
be outgrown.
My pain is not as extreme as what some of you live with. Does it just
continue to get worse if they are not removed? Sitting at work really
makes my lower abs sore and my lower back ache. Lord help if I do too
much housework or yardwork (which I love). I don't mind paying someone
to do the housework.
I'm trying the suggestions several of you gave me on the bowel remedies.
Hopefully that will help.
I thank you all for your postings and advice. My husband is a great
help to me (married 26 years this Oct.4) but he is having PSA problems
and must have his 4th biopsy in the next few weeks. Age is starting to
do things to our bodies. He has always been the healthy one, taking
care of me through all of my surgeries. If we both get down I don't
know what we'll do.
Thanks for listening and I hope to become a major part of these
postings. Just excuse me if I sound stupid on things until I learn as
much as what ya'll know.
Kathryn
