Cathy,
Hi, just thought I would reply to your message as what you are going
thropugh sounds alot like what I felt, I feel alot better when laying
down and when I move it gets so bad, read my story, their are 2 areas
for my story because we made some corrections and they didn't delete the
other. So one will say my story is not posted the other has my story.
In that story you will read how the Drs. found all kinds of hernias,
but what I want to tell you is it really took them looking close and if
my small bowel had not been totaly emptied they would have never found
all thay did. The one that started on my upper right quadrine and
wrapped around my back was huge and not until they opened me did they
find it, why a catscan didnot pick it up? We don't know but it took me
going to a specialist to find all this, please read my story and you
mighjt get some vital information from it. I hope you have a pain free
day and know someone is out here that really knows what you are going
through and I deeply care. Peace, ShawnaAt Sat, 3 Aug 2002, Cathy
