Ms Lee,
Thank you for your encouragement. You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately for most of us we have to go through all of the testing and surgery to get validation for our condition so that we CAN get pain pills to get on with our life.
Last week I went to see my family doctor, I felt aweful, he sent me for a quick x-ray I asked him why bother he told me my bowels sounded abnormal and he wanted to see if I was obstructed. I told him I wasnt (what do I know). I left with a prescription of Darvocet (hello). After everything I have been through in the last 4 months pictures and all. I am still looking for Validation to get properly medicated to get through my days.
I am looking forward to the day when I can learn to live with this, but I can't do it without doctors so until they at least help me I will stay in denial.
