Hello everyone,.Well I just spent about 1/2 hour writing and hit the
wrong key and lost evrything. I just can not stay away any longer. I
need the support and understanding from everyone on here. Did any
receive an e-mail from Dr. Wiseman this week.telling us about the
conference he went to ? I was not happy with what he told me. He said
that someone from the FDA was there and they are about 6-8 months behind
with looking at all the studies and trials of intergel.So that means
they are that far away from approving it.Isn't that wonderful ? I think
we all get our hopes up too much, that something will become available
to help us. I have been having a pretty rough time of things.The pain
meds that I am taking ( methadone and Klonopin) are not helping me at
all anymore.I saw my gyn on Tuesday and he is recommending another
laporoscopy with the removal of the last tube and ovary.As to eliminate
this being some of the cause of my pain.Like everyone else I am having
trouble with bowel movements.I am taking 200 mgs. docusate sodium
(stool softener) once a day but this is not helping. I have developed
hemeroids and a fissure from trying to push so hard. A fissure is like
a paper cut in the anal canal.Hurts like a son of a gun when I go.I also
get a sharp shooting pain from the lowest part of the abdomin to the
area between the vagina and anus.My gyn said that this is most likely
caused from an adhesion. He checked the area on the outside,Where I say
the pain goes and said the the skin has thinned quite abit in that area
and has prescribed a progesteron (sp) cream to use to toughen up the
skin. Any one else with this type of problem?
I have an appointment with my pain management Dr. on Wednesday and will
see how he feels about what the gyn is recommending.I also want off
these narcotics.Why be on something that is not helping any way? I am
really worried though about what I have to go through when coming off
these meds.Well I am really happy to be back.I decided that this forum
is too important to me to let anyone bother me.My biggest decision will
be When to have the surgery.I would like to wait until after the
holidays but do not know if I can.Thanks for listening .And a big
welcome to all the newcomers. I hope that you get the support that you
need.
Peggy
