Yep, the doctors think I'm a "head case". They know that I have a twisted colon with strictures (colonoscopy proved that), but they have no idea why I hurt so bad.

GI doc told my husband and me yesterday that because I have been hurting like this for 3 years, he thinks I have become more "sensitive" to the pain and am therefore, less "stoic". My husband almost ripped his face off! And I have been going to this GI doc for 11 years! Our kids even go to school together.

I read an article a couple of years ago about how doctors hate patients that require more than 10 minutes of their time. It drags out their schedules and they just really don't want to be bothered with the "whiners". They would rather hand you a prescription for pain meds and push you out the door. And God help you if you are female---they just want to give you an anti-depressant!

I'm not sure about the fluid thing. In my case, this all occurred right after a hysterectomy in which I had bleed internally. I ended up having to get 4 units of blood. So for a period of time I felt full of liquid, and I was full of liquid really. > >That is interesting that we have experienced similar
