Gail,

I am in somewhat of a different situation than most of you, in that I have an on going medical problem. With this problem I have constant pain. However, I do believe that some of the pain I suffer with is cyclical. What happens is I will go for days without having a real substantial bowel movement......and the pain builds and builds. Then when I finally have a bowel movement the pain is gone...at least for a little while.

But, like I said....I have some pain at all times. I just don't know for sure which pain is related to the adhesions. I firmly believe that the pain I described above is. I also have the associated vomitting. I don't necessarily have the nausea....the vomitting comes without warning.

I hope this helps.

Karla
