HELLO,
I JUST SAW YOUR EMAIL AND THE DEAL WITH PAIN MEDS IS SO TRUE.I HAVE
HAD 15 SURGIES FOR ADHESIONS.I HAVE A DRAND HE REALLY TRYS TO HELP BUT THERE
IS NOT ALOT HE CAN DO EITHER.IT JUST KEEPS GOING AND GOING AND NEVER STOPS.I
KNOW HE FEELS BAD BECAUSE DR'S WANT TO MAKE YOU BETTER AND MY DOCTOR HATES
IT WHEN CAN ONLY BAND-AID THE PROBLEM.MOST PEOPLE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD JUST
LOOKS AT YOU LIKE ALL YOU WANT IS PAIN MEDS.THEY DO NOT HELP ME ANYMORE AND
THEY JUST SLOWS DOWN MY BOWELS MORE.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THIS NEVER STOPS AND IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.I HAVE NEVER
READ ANYTHING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO WEAR YOUR PANTS TO WHERE THEY FIT.I DO
NOT EAT HARDLEY ANYTHING AND DRINK ALOT OF SODA,I KNOW I SHOULD NOT BUT THAT
IS ABOUT THE ONLY SUGAR I HAVE.I THOUGH I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO WHERE MY
CLOTHES HURT ME.I AM PUTTING ON WEIGHT EACH DAY AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY.I
LOOK LIKE I AM PREGANT ALL THE TIME.I HATE THIS SO MUCH IT MAKES ME WANT TO
GIVE UP.I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I AM PUTTING ON SO MUCH WEIGHT IN MY BELLY.
I CANNOT EAT WITHOUT GETTING SICK AND IN PAIN.IF I HAVE THE TEST TO SEE
WHERE MY BLOCKAGE IS AND CAN STOP ME UP EVEN MORE BUT IF I DO NOT THEN I
CANNOT HAVE THE SURGEY.I AM PUTTING ON ALOT OF FLUID AND WONDER IF ANYONE
ELSE DOES THIS AND WONDER WHAT YOU DO ABOUT IT.I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA AND THERE
IS NOT A LOT HERE.
WHAT REALLY HURTS IS THAT MOST PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE CRAZY BECAUSE THEY
CANNOT SEE THE PAIN AND IT NEVER GETS BETTER.I HAVE 2 GIRLS AND THE OLDEST
BELIVES ME AND TRYS TO UNDERSTAND BUT EVERTIME I GO INTO THE HOSPITAL MY 25
YEAR OLD GOES TO THE NURSES DESK AND TELLS THEM I HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM WITH
PAIN MEDS.SO CAN ONLY FIGURE HOW I GET TREATED AFTER THAT.I ALWAYS WIND UP
WITH A MG TUBE AND THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY ALSO.DOES ANYONE ELSE GET THIS CRAP
FROM PEOPLE THAT KNOWS YOU?
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS COME OUT IN THE OPEN TO WHERE PEOPLE WOULD
UNDERSTAND.I DO NOT THING IT WILL HAPPEN IN MY LIFE TIME.I HATE ALOT PEOPLE
HAVE ARD BUT I AM GLAD I CAN GET ON HERE AND KNOW SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS.IT
STILL IS HARD TO KNOW PEOPLE LOOK AT ME LIKE I AM CRAZY.PLEASE EMAIL ME IF
YOU EVER WANT TO TALK. TERRI
