Boy , Darlene have you described my feelings, those sharp pulling
knfelike pains are awfull, and I know my gyn is losing his patiece too,
but he s the ONE dr I have who listens. I basically was told I have to
accept this now, and try to learnt to live with t. I am the same way,
and long as I do not walk or stand, especially in one pace for too long
things do not feel like someone has there hand in there pulling
everythig down, it s a TERRIBLE pain, now the laxatives are killing me,
the pai and pulling trying to have a bowel movement is worse than ever,
and if I do not take one now, I do not go! Unless IBS acts up. I hope
they find someone here, that will at least use the new Intergel when it
is approved, I will talk to mygyn Mon more. I have a appt to see him at
2:00!
Boy do we all have to suffer!
