Dear Jaynie, It sounds like you are in real pain and they are treating you with mind altering drugs, that make you seem crazy and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm not a doctor, nor a counselor, but I really do think you need a GOOD counselor to talk all this through with, I went to see a pyschiatrist a few years ago, and the bottom line after much talking was that I was in agony from adhesions. But she did me a lot of good. Because my general practitioner thought I was crazy because I cried when he pushed down on my abdomen. Only doctors (in my limited experience) who have had kidney stones can relate. Anyway, I still see the pyschiatrist every few months just to talk things over. Oh, by the way, she did give me a letter that stated bluntly, that I was fine, just in incredible abdomen pain. When I took this letter to a pain center, they then referred me to their pyschiatrist, because, I obviously needed one or I wouldn't have gone to one in the first place. Life is weird. Love, Sally
