Hang in there. Why are you going to a Gasterentologist if you don't mind me asking? I know it is very depressing to have this chronic pain and sickness. I had so many high hopes of getting cured when I got surgeries from Drs. that specialize in it. I have horrible pain at night. I do know that exercise does help. I have not gone to exercise in two weeks and I had worse pain then when I go. Some of the exercises I can't do because of pain but I sure feel better afterwards. I watch my three year old granddaughter and I don't know what I would do without her. Some days I feel so horrible that I don't want to watch her but I know that if I didn't have her, I would be in bed a lot which causes depression for me. Please just know that you are not alone. Kelly

What about us in the uk? we have national health , so our surgeons go about things very very cheaply , I have suffered 22 years now...after having PID endometriosis and 26 other gyno , operations......... ectopic pregnancy etc...........I have just turned 50 ,I cannot hold my new baby grandson , for fear of the pain and dropping him , when it grips it grips.......I am going to see a gasterentologist on the 13th of this month...I am very scared to have more surgery because I know It will form more adhesions...talk about catch 22......I am now on diazepam because bad depression has taken over , some days I feel like just ending everything, untill I see my daughters faces and my grandsons..........

I went to Germany and had surgery with a different Dr. then Robin. I called my insurance and asked them to cover it. They said no. I persisted and they did pay for part of it. They paid me not the Dr. What you will pay in Germany is much less then what they charge in the states. You need to either go to the Drs. website if he has one and it should give you info. or you need to email him.
