Hello everyone. I'm 26 years old and have had a total hysterectomy and
ooperectomy because of adhesions. I had my last surgery just a few
months ago on April 27, 1999. But I've allready reached the point to
where I can't go on any longer with this pain! Durring the April
surgery, I had two groups of adhesions removed from my bowel that were
causing a partial blockage. The surgeon used Interceed hoping to ward
off any new one. Yet within a month, my pain came back. I've been
trying my best to ignore it for the simple fact that I'm scared to death
of having another surgery. But today, I can't cope any longer! The pain
has suddenly intensified to the point that I spent most of today curled
up in a ball crying. I can't even eat anymore for fear that the pain
and pressure will get worse. I realize that this is long so I'll try to
end this quickly. But I'm going back to the dr.s on Monday and am
really looking for someone to talk too. To be quite honest, I'm scared
to death that this will never end. I know that each surgery I have may
cause more adhesions, but I also know that i can't survive with my bowel
being blocked. This darn condition has allready solen all of my femal
organs from me. I'm terrified of what it will take next.
If you wouldn't mind helping me by being my friend, please email me. I'd
love to support you in return
