Hi, I am 28 yrs old and have had pain from adhesions
since 1994 when I had my son. I have only recently
learned of adhesions and have finally put a name to
my pain. I was misdiagnosed for 8yrs with everything
from crohns to IBS. If I go on birthcontrol pills
constantly, not allowing any periods, I do not have
any pain but I balloon up in weight. So for eight years
I would go to 2-3 different doctors and get frustrated
from the lack of treatment so I would go back on BC
pills until I would gain 30 - 40 lbs. then I would
discontinue the pills and restart the doctor
shuffle. I finally found a wonderful GI DR who
diagnosed me with adhesions. she has decided to
try a different approach which is working so far.
every six months or so we do a colonoscopy to spread
out the intestines and open everthing up to let
things flow more freely. this has worked great.
I also don't have to worry about new adhesions from
numerous surgerys to remove them. thought this
might help others. feel free to ask any questions farah
