Dear Julie, I'm sorry but I live in Northern California so I can not help you directly. The same thing happened to me and I went on anti-depressants, we tried three different kinds. None of them helped the pain, but they did make my mind unbalanced and I do not recommend them. Nobody really knows what they do. What they did for me was turn my happy, productive, pain filled life into an unhappy, non-productive, pain filled life. I am now on narcotic medications and am awaiting another adhesion laproscopic procedure. Please look back through the archives and print out a lot of information that you can take to a good doctor. Hopefully someone on this board can find you one. I know there are lists here somewhere. Good luck and don't give up. It's not in your head. I did go to a psychiatrist who gave me a letter stating that the only thing wrong with me was intense abdominal agony presumably from adhesions given my past history. Love, Sally Our thoughts are with you.
