Hello
Well i know what you feel like, I have been to the docs and am running
out of meds myself and for some reason the pain keeps increasing after
getting this surgery only on may 4th and now
my family are the ones who dont believe me. they see me and some girl
just taking pills for no pain. its ridiculous because I have been
reffered to see a GI regarding IBS, sometimes i dont know what to do
myself because i feel all alone and the only thing that seems to keep me
lust a little sane are the responses from other women on this forum.
trust me...just hang in there..its best to find a doc who believes you
and know what type of pain you are going through. i was lucky enough to
have found mine at UIC and she is very helpful and sends me to other
doctors even with the slightest chance that i may have something else
related. all i can say is be strong...you will over come this
