Hello my name is Deb Smith and I have lived with adhesions for almost 14 years been on meds for around 6 now. I have went to so many different doctors, and I tell you what most of them tell me that the pain is in my head. I have been pushed away, I lost my job at Honda because of this been fighting SSD for 6 years they keep turnin me down because nobody will back me up. I did find a good pain doctor. I told her that I had, had 23 surgeries from adhesions, and she believed me. Well now I am in so much pain sick because my bowels arent working right. I had found a good adhesions doctor down in florida but his office won't let me have surgery again unless I pay 1600.00$ up front because my insurance didn't pay it all last time because of out of state. I couldnt make to many payments on it because all we have is my husbands income and we have 3 teenagers. I was on low doses of morphine at first, then the patch, which made me very sick the first month, then my husbands insurance changed and they wouldnt pay for them, so now I am on another morphine pill which is a high dose and make me sick well I have my days. I am always tired but it helps for awhile then they have to up it again. A pain doctor would be a good thing now for you because maybe they can help you keep your life that I lost along time ago. GOOD LUCK TO YOU, Deb Smith
