Miserable & Desperate!From: Rachel (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Oct 30 08:00:27 2003
Hi everyone. I haven't really posted in a while, except for a few replies here and there. But, I really need help. I've had to laparoscopies. The last one was November of last year where extensive adhesions were removed from my right ovary, appendix, and intestines (which were flattened with adhesions). I have been in so much pain for weeks, chronic constipation even when living on fruit and vegetables and taking benefiber twice a day. Yesterday and the day before, stuff finally loosened up, and I had bowel movements several times both days. This morning, I woke up very bloated, but not gassy, and I can't have a bm. My lower abdomen is as hard as a rock! I'm having deep twinges of pain on both sides, not just at my right ovary where all my problems have been. I've been in contact with my doctor's office for weeks, and they don't seem to give a damn. (Mind you, this is NOT my doctor who performed both of my surgeries...I now live 800 miles away from him.) The doctor's office told me to just keep taking my benefiber and wait it out. I'm on continuous bcp (but I have a period every 4 months...not due for another until December), and I asked in August to be switched to a lower dose of estrogen and different progestin because my head was so fuzzy all of the time. Well, I'm not having any breakthrough bleeding, but my pain has increased, even though my emotions are more leveled out and my head isn't as cloudy. I swear, I'm going to lose my mind! I know I have more adhesions in the same places as they were removed last November. It just intuition, I guess. Before my last lap, my doc didn't really believe I had adhesions, but I knew I did...he got in there and found an absolute mess. Girls, I don't know what to do. I've about had it! I want to be drunk all the time, because at least then I'd have fun. I'm getting so sad.
