Hi to all. I posted my story about two years ago. Since then I have
had two more surgeries. Been suffering from adhesions since 1997. Have
had 10 surgeries due to endometriosis, hysterectomy, adhesions etc. My
last surgery was this past February 2002. I have an adhesion barrier
called Seprafilm placed on my intestines but this only works for six to
eight months. . Each time I have surgery (which is once a year!) is
because I can't eat nor go to the bathroom because a have bowel
obstruction. I am rushed to the hospital, hospitalized with tubes in my
noise down my stomach and having another surgery because If I don't I
can die. This is horrible !!!Every surgery is because adhesions
strangles my intestine and another organ. This last time was my
intestine and my "belly button" which the doctors had to do an
reconstruction. Blood would come out from my "belly button". The year
before was also my intestine and appendix... all wrapped in adhesions.
Year before that was my intestine and another organ and so forth. Now,
my doctor says that I can't have no more surgery. I'm now again with
pain in my "belly button", can't bend nor pick up heavy things. The
doctor only eliminate the adhesions that extrangles the organs because
the says I'm full of adhesions and if he eliminates them they will grow
right back and even more. When I'm sleeping I wake up crying because
the pain around my "belly button" is unbearable. Is the someone with
the same problem and can advise me? I'm so depressed and have been not
working since January 2002.
Please help !
