Scared and in search of some help

Hello,
I am in dire need of some help. I have been sick
for 10 yrs with this excrutiating pain. Doctors just
sent me on my way telling me to take some prozac and do
some yoga....find a little inner peace. This pain is
mindblowing. It is on my left side starting about 2
inches from my belly button going sideways. It feels
like an open wound is there and someone is pouring alcohol
on it and pulling my organs and twisting them
around their finger while fiercly pinching my colon.
There are times when I feel like I am going to pass out...
it takes my breath away. For awhile the pain went away but
came back after I had my daughter. I was
diagnosed with Celiac disease ( an autoimmune disorder affecting
The small intestine). I Changed my diet to a gluten free diet
which is a must. The pain still there. I was finally diagnosed with
endometriosis...I had a lap in 6/04...now for the past 6 months it is
slowly coming back with a vengeance.
It does seem like it starts around my cycle and will let up
for 2-3 days and then hit hard a week or so
after my period ends. When it used to kill me before it
hurt everyday.
But it starts around my cycles until the days run together and then It
seems like it has no rym or reason. The doctor did find adhesions but I
am pretty sure he said that was not what was causing my pain. Does this
sound like adhesions to you? If so, does the Germany clinic really work.
I am scheduled for a hysterectomy in 2 weeks and am terrified now that
I've read some of your submissions. I have too many diseases already.
What is pain management...who do I look for and what meds work. I have
taken nothing but with a 2 yr old I need something to help keep me up to
par. Any help, anything at all would help so much.
Thank you so much,
