Hi Kimberly, I so know how u feel! This disease has totally robbed me of the life I once had! It is so tough to deal with and most people do not understand what we go through. I am now going on eight years of fighting this and like u, I do have my days when I feel like I just can't do this anymore, but somehow I find the strength to keep going. Part of it is for my family and what it would do to my daughter if I were gone, and my husband too. Thankfully, I have a very supportive husband, but sometimes wonder how much he can take. U have to try to find the strength deep down to keep on fighting! Lord, do I know it's hard!

Have u been to a pain specialist? Find u s good one asap, this does help some. I have also started seeing a therapist so I can have someone to talk to besides my family, I just don't get to go as much as I would like to due to getting sick so often. The ladies on this group are great and all are going through what we are, so anyone is always available to talk. Anytime u need to, feel free to send me an email, I'm more than happy to listen. It takes time to adjust to this life that is so different than what we once had and some days I too struggle. It's exhausting! But finding a good pain clinic can help, at least with some of the pain. I'm 41 and feel like I live in a 61 year old body! When I have good days I just try to enjoy them the best I can. Hang in there! And don't let anyone tell u it's all in your head, I heard that for years then when a surgeon went in and found the mess that he did finally people started to believe me.

Also, try to find u a good family doc. I now take an anti-anxiety med which does help on those days when I feel like I just can't go on any longer. It does help. Feel free to email when u need to! Hugs, Dawn

I am ready to throw in the towel and the only reason I haven't yet is because I have 2 small children and a husband. I cannot deal with the pain any longer and the inability to eat. I have had 2 laparoscopies. The first being totally unnecessary. I have no one to talk to. My husband thinks God will heal me and my mom just gets upset and says I have psychiatric issues(who wouldn't!) I can't enjoy anything anymore. Has anyone ever felt this desperate but finally found help. If so, who helped you? I can't do this much longer. It has been 2 years and I have cried every day since the first surgery. I feel emotionally dead and don't want to be physically dead but right now I don't feel any difference.
