Nicole,
I completely understand what you're talking about and your need to vent.
I'm not in a small town, but a large city, and while my Dr.s do
recognize
that this is the issue and they believe me about the pain and push meds
on me...they say that I am stuck. I have adhesions and surgery is a
ridiculous idea...
So I'm on disability leave and hoping that the disability pay kicks in.
Then hoping to go to see andrew cook or david redwine (repeated only
somewhat successfull endo surgeries are the suspected cause of the
surgical adhesions).
Finding answers and resources on the net are great places to start.
