Hello fellow suffers,
I've been away for awhile due to so much pain. I had the bladder scope
thing done last week and have been diagonsed with Intersistal Cysistis
(I am probably misspelling this again). Anyway I now have to go into
the Urologists office once a week for the next 5 and have medication
placed into the bladder thru a catheter...Friday I had a Colonoscopy and
was told by that Dr that I have a Unusually large opening into where the
appendix used to be. He said it was so large he was able to place the
scope inside, something he has never been able to do before. Also I
have a Spastic Colon. He stated the the hole can get food substance
hung in the opening and cause some major pain.. He immediately stated
he was going to call my surgeon. And last but not least, I have alot of
ahdesions, because he had alot of trouble getting the scope thru the
intestines due to the adhesions...Suprise. My surgeon when he told me
he wanted to rule and any problems with the bladder and the intestines
before we do another surgery to remove the adhesions. I told them there
was nothing else wrong with me except adhesion pain. I guess I can
thank him for doing the tests, because there is something wrong with
both the bladder and intestines...I have always had pain on the right
side. Probably for at least 10 to 15 years. I had a laproscopy for
adhesions and endometriosis in 1985 and the Dr. removed my appendix at
that time. Well thanks for letting me whine again. I appreciate you
support so much. My anti-depression medication isn't working yet. I am
now on Methadone, Neurontin, Celexa, and Pamelor at night. I am curious
if anyone else is on any of these medication and if they have help you
any???? I am having such difficuty working, and I just recently went
back to 8 hours a day. I can't hardly make it all day.
Thanks for listening,
Love to all,
Tami
