Good morning fellow ARD sufferers. If there is anyone out there from
>the Houston area, can you please email me if you know of any surgeon in
>this town that specializes in adhesions? I could also use help in
>tracking down a pain doc who understands that adhesions cause real pain
>and real nausea.

>For years I've been treated like a raving drooling drug addict and every
>time the surgeons finally got around to cutting me open there's been a
>valid reason for my pain. Countless scopes for endo; gallbladder &
>massive small bowel adhesions; appendix & more adhesions; hysterectomy &
>more adhesions; sigmoid colectomy & MASSIVE adhesions; and finally last
>March, more adhesions. Yeeeee haaaaw! I've been fine, wonderful,
>perfect for several months and the symptoms started up again by the end
>of July. Now it's back to minimal solid food, can't poop, URQ pain and
>nausea and vomiting. Unfortunately, my docs are looking at me like I'm
>a total nutbar and think all I want is pain drugs. I am so sick and
>tired of this attitude! Sorry for the vent... it just kind of happened.
