Hi David, I know how you feel. I have mild-med experiences with episodes,
then I have the ones that totally kick my rear end. That's when I beg for it
all to just end. It is horrible that we have to go through such awful pain.
Doubling over, twisting, sharp stabbing, deep aching on left/right sides and
whole abdomen. Taking meds, using heating pad, lots of pillows for comfort.
I do go in for I.V. therapy when it is unbearable and I have been doubling
over and writhing in pain, sobbing etc... I just wanted to reassure you that
you are NOT alone. I am happy for you that you can do so many things. Good
for you. It sound like when the monsters hit, they hit hard. Hang in there.
Some day we will all get the help we need right in our own country. Well, I
can hope anyway. Take care. Cheryl > >
