My Name is Sharon
I have been dealing with Adheasion problems for
about 15 yrs now I have them all over my intestines
which has cause me to have so far 18 Small Bowel
Obstruction Surgies After the last one I was told
by the Head of the GI dept of a Major Univ Hospital
that there was nothing more that could be done for me
and that I was not worth the cost of the TPN ( it
is a iv feeding ) that I was on to try and put the
bowels at rest and stop the obstruction also that it
was all in my head and all I wanted was the Drugs .
I have also had about 10 other abdomial surgies other
then the obstructions .
I have been going to a wonderful Dr that has been
just treating the symtoms and the chronic pain .
Now since I am on medicaid and the state is
paying for my meds they are not complaining about
the meds he is giving me and they say that chronic
Abdomial pain does not need pain meds He is scared
so now he is taking me off the pain meds because
he says ( he has a family to think of ) we have cut
down on them alot but we are at the point that I
can not handle it going any lower .
He has arranged for me to see a new Dr at Columbia
Univ Hospital to see if there is any new treatment
that can be done. My appt is Wed Feb 16 and I am
scared Where can I find the information I need to
show the new Dr or is there a name of a Dr that she
can talk to that can give her any help in treating
me . I can not go back to the way I was before I
was not even living the constant pain was too much
to bare . If anyone has any help or information
for me please email me at Looney728@aol.com or
you can IM me
