adhesions and managing your own pain

I have had 4 surgeries (in the last 2 yrs.) to get rid of adhesions and
growths within them, and all the damage they do. Doctors have tried &
tried to no avail to rid my body of them. In the last 6 months I have
started seeing an acupuncturist (he calls it the sticky disease), taking
digestive enzymes, gas pills, and sometimes imodium. I have changed my
diet completely. I have decided to fight back. These things in
combination together have been helping alot to fight the pain. I still
have pain (bad at times). Sometimes I think it's winning. At times I
think I'll never go the the bathroom normally again. And then it
happens, I go normal for a day or two. What a great releif to know that
it can still happen. Even if it's only occasionally. If anyone out
there is trying to hold of like I am (to see if someone can really
help). Let me know how your doing it. I'm trying to stay off the
prescriptions. Sometimes I think it's impossible and then I get through
another day.
New symptoms are - Low red blood count, high lymphocyte count, elevated
LDL count, swollen lymph nodes in neck, and night sweats. Now there are
sending me to an oncologist. Anybody know about these symptons.
