Sherry,
Please keep us posted and know we are thinking about you.
Do they tell you what is causing your back pain--is it just from
all the things going on. My daughter also deals with back pain
and the doc's seem to ignore it.
Please also join the OPRAH PROJECT! See post 11/13/02.
We need faces!!!! Several women have responded and I am
really getting excited, the box is going to look great!

Subject: Nausea and bowel obstructions...
First I would like to thank those who rseponded to my post RE: nausea.
Yes, I am still nauseated today, lots of back pain. I have had in the
past a full blown bowel obstruction after my hysterectomy and lysis of
adhesions. It started with loss of appetite, couldn't eat a thing,
extreme back pain, nausea that turned into vomiting (fecal matter). I
thought I was going to die. They inserted the NG tube into stomach and
intravenious fluids and meds. I was in hospital for a week, the
obstuction resolved itself. I have had a partial obstruction where I
couldn't eat or go to the bathroom, was hospitalized with IV fluids and
rest and it also resolved. I have had 7 abdominal surgeries, most have
involved the intestines, also had them punctured during a surgery,
hemorraghed, and had bowel resection. I saw my primary doc yesterday,
he said I didn't feel distended, and is sending me to a pain clinic
again. I guess time will tell. Thanks for listening, Sherry
