Kelly,
You are too kind. Thank you! If I can help in any way, please let me know. I am sorry you don't have your mom with you. I do hope you have a supportive person that you can lean on. I know this is a difficult & unfair road to travel. I am glad to hear you are saving to go to see Dr. Kruschinski~~he is our hero!! (Guess you knew that). It is impossible not to brag on someone that takes your loved one from the pit of hopelessness and despair! And I thank God~~the answer to years of prayers!!
E mail me anytime if I can be of help to you!! My best wishes to you. Please let me know about your upcoming surgery. Also, if you happen to be near me.......??....I am in Texas.
Sincerely,
Karen

Karen. I am new to this sight and just wanted you to know how you and your daughters story touched me. I didn't have my mother Around to go through this with me. When I read your story I just sat here and cried..Melissa is a very lucky young lady. I am saving up money as soon as I am done with this surgery so I can go see Dr. Kruschinski. For my final go around. Any way just wanted to say thank you for your inspiration Kelly

Hi Connie,
Dr. Kruschinski will answer your questions if you e mail him.
Many doctors ignore or do not think adhesions are causing you problems, so don't be surprised by his unbelief! I know you are aware of Melissa's history. I took her to countless doctors, especially gastro's and ob/gyn's.......not a one of them ever mentioned adhesions. When I would ask about endometriosis, I was told that was not her problem either. I had to figure it all out on my own. I finally ignored what the doctors were saying and just began researching. After all, she was still sick and we were just running around the same tree day in and day out, year end, year out....(upper/lower gi's, colonoscopies, etc). ....that was all that was ever offered.......oh yeah, they always offered an antidepressant too!!!
Melissa was told over and over her pain was IBS...(this became the diagnosis after 6 or 7 different gastro's argued over Crohn's). I decided IBS stands for "I be sick"..........and it should be IBSATDDKW....... for "I be sick and the doctors don't know why" ........well, guess what.....since the adhesions are now gone.....Melissa no longer has IBS nor IBSATDDKW!!!! Dr. Kruschinski knew why she was sick! Adhesions!! I am so sorry you are in pain and desperate for answers. I can only give you our experience......
Best wishes to you,
Karen

I went to visit my gastointestinal doctor to discuss my lastest GI series. His explaination was the xray showed adhesions, but the pain in my bowels were IBS. Why does't he believe adhesions are causing this pain and irregular bowels. He never mentioned ARD. I also have an ulcer that cannot be treated with medication only surgery. So he said he was sorry and when it gets worse call my surgeron.
Does any one know if Dr. K in Germany can cut out uclers from the intestines?
Someone Please reply.
Connie
