Hello my name is Steve and I just found this message board today.I have
had Crohn's disease for 20+years.There is no cure.Two small resections
and then an adhesion wrapped around my small intestine and gave me a new
name for pain.Not long after that I had another surgery because of
adhesions and they removed my gall bladder.I now can add cronic
pancreatitis to my list of ailments.I have been told there is no relief
from any of these except the Duragesic Patch which they say I will have
to have from now on until? They won't tell me.They also won't refer me
for any more surgeries.I feel so lost and see no hope for the future.I'm
writing this cause I have read many of your stories and it is comforting
to know I'm not alone. but in many ways I am alone. I am alone with my
pain. Thanks for listning. Steve
