This is an depressing disorder. Drs. don't know how to handle it most of the time or they don't think adhesions cause pain or they feel useless trying to help. Our families try to understand but they can't really unless they are in our body. I used to wake up every morning thinking that maybe it all went away while I

was asleep. I don't do that anymore. It seems when I get a good attitude about it, I feel better for awhile but then I get a temporary or partial blockage that takes me to the limit. I am really sick of taking meds also. I don't feel I take too much but even our loved ones think that if you take more then one thing for it, then u must have a medicine problem. I don't even take half of what they give me. My family thinks my meds make me grumpy. I try to tell them that it is not the medicine, it's because the meds don't really make the pain or sickness better. My best thing to do is to lay down with my heating pad.. I think it would be better for the family if we acted like nothing was wrong with us and we just suffer when we are alone. That's hard.
