-------Many doctors ignore or do not think adhesions are causing
you problems. I took Melissa 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......!!!!!!!! Maybe some people really have IBS and not
IBSATDDKW-------maybe.........but if you're wondering if it is adhesions,
I would keep searching......just as you are doing now!
Best wishes to you,
