gynecare intergel,
well lets see we can start by saying the doctor
went in and had already done a laproscopy he
then went in and removed my ovary and used the
intergel before he closed me up in december of
2002. then I wasnt feeling any better when I
got released from the hospital and I ended up
calling him one night and he told me to come to
fort hamilton hospital in hamilton, ohio.
When I got there they did a cbc and the doctor
came in and said I had an infection my white
bliood count was 22,000. So they admiitted
me again then he went in and removed my
apendix but thats not what the problem was.
It was the intergel, I then developed a square
blood clot and it was so pain full and the
doctor said it was one of the rare side effects
from the gel. I had three surgeries after the
intergel was used and becase of it I ended up
with a full blown hysterrectomy and I was
thrown into menopause at 30 I turned 30 on
January 28th of 2003. I have been seing a pain
doctor for over a year I have had to have two
colonoscopies and sent to a uroligist to try
to figure out what all my pain was from.
Once again the gel is and has been my problem it
has caused alot of uneccasery surgeries and taken
alot from my life I was back at the doctor
yesterday and we talked about the intergel
thats why I decided to do some research and
I have spent about 11 hours so far searching
things and this gel. so yes the gell that was
turned down by the fda 11 times should have
never been used.
also my doctor didnt tell me he used it
untill my 4th surgery. then when he trieg
to contact the company no one wold get ack
with him because he had all these questions
about me and the gel and no one would get back
with him for weeks I spent alot of time in
the hospital and I was told yesterday he is
going to do surgery AGAIN because I am still
having pain from that gel. At this time my
youngest child was getting ready to turn 1
in febuary. I wasnt able to lift her for
almost a year with out being in so much pain.
My other two which are now 14 and 12 suffered
because I couldnt drive them to soccer so they
dropped out and I couldnt and still cant do any
straining or anything using my stomache muscles
or sleep on my stomache. Not sure of the exact
dates of all my surgeries but know end of 2002
and begining of 2003. ow that the pain I
suffer everyday is the worst pain I have ever
had I live with pain on a scale of 8 atleast
daily. I do knAlso my husband has his own
company and had to stay home with the children
during all this time I spent in the hospital
and our sex life it not good. It hurts for
me to have sex.
why at 31 almost 32 should my body be like
im 70. Have a bestfriend that had
endometriosis and the doctor may have
used the same gel we dont know so we both
want to find out about her also. but I
know it was used on me.
