Hi Libby & Em,
I am also from Washington State, Bellevue. I was told I needed a
hystorectomy 4 years ago, no mention of adhesions, I had never heard of
them. A week after I went home I ended up back @ same hospital with a
complete ilius and obstruction. Fast forward to now with at least a dozen
partial obstructions, too many trips to the ER to count, and an emergency
surgery to clear an obstruction 2 years ago. I have now decided to try pain
management, through a doctor at Virginia Mason pain clinic. I had my first
appointment 2 weeks ago. She wants me to try neurontin. I've taken it
once, the night before last and it made me sick, I know you are supposed to
work up to the right dose but I don't know if I can tolorate it. I am once
again feeling like I am at the end of my rope. Would love to hear from
fellow sufferers here in Washington. You can e-mail me at mzkid@msn.com
Libby, you are pretty close to me, who do you go to? Em, I would be very
interested to hear who you found in Edmonds.
Take care,
Meg
