Meanwhile my quality of life has gone down quite dramatically. I've been in the ER 4 or 5 times in the last couple weeks. The only thing that keeps me out now is an increase in pain medicine, and a lot of faith in God. The Doctors are afraid to do anything, because I'm sure they think they'll make me worse. I'm constantly struggling with dehydration and weakness. This all has affected not only me but my entire family and friends.I lost my Job, I'm on disability, and heading toward SS Disability. I have two teenagers that need me and a husband that is fed up with everyone.(including me.)He's sticking in there, but I'm not sure my marriage is going to survive this. I feel so helpless some times.I've always been a active person and have worked as an RN for years and feel like I still have a lot to give if it weren't for this. I feel like it's just a waiting game now.
I'll get bad enough that they won't have a choice. I'm in the process of a second opinion. I'm seeing hololistic drs, a Chiropractor, Councilor,etc. I really feel for all of you out there that have been battling this for years. I do have faith that their will be some relief from all our suffering at some point from the medical community. It's just amazing to me they haven't figured this out yet. Another thing that's amazing is how many drs play down the adhessions as if their not that much of a problem, and that we need to deal with them. While I don't know about you all, but I'm not ready to give up yet. I wake up every day fighting and praying for relief. We've discussed sending me where ever, if my new Drs aren't able to come up with something.
Hang in there all and God Bless..
