Taylor,
I know just how you feel. I feel like a ping pong
ball! I had a very painful week-end. I don't know why
or what causes the pain to flare up so that's it's so
unbearable. Do I go to the ER or call my Dr.? No I
tough it out. My jaws are sore from clenching them so
much. Now my employer is sending me to a panel of 3
independent medical examiners Oct. 8. I was sent to
one 12/18/01. They think since I had surgery 07/29/02
for adhesions that I should be able to go back to
work. I don't know how I'm going to make these Drs.
understand that adhesions cause pain, tremendous pain.
Please hang in there! I know it's tough but find a
reason to keep going no matter what.
Take Care,
Rita
