Hey everyone, I dont usually post here a lot, but needed to vent. The past 10 years I've been having severe pain in my abdomen and nauseau probably every month or every other month, the last 3 years its gotten so bad that i've ended up in the er for dehydration and sever pain at least 5x a yr. So the doctors were sure it was because of endometriosis, i have 8 fibroids some calcified on my uterus (i'm 25 w/ the uterus of a 60yo they say) and because my pain intesified with my cycle they "assumed" thats what it was... got me to think i needed a hysterectomy, then medicaid wouldn't cover it, so they wanted to just put me on testosterone and a iud (like i dont have enough problems with whats in me now!) so i refused without a laparoscopy to dx the endo... welll.... if you know what a lap is, they take a fibreoptic camera and go in through your navel to have a look around, only because of my surgery as a baby w/ meconium ilius (sp) my small intestine had formed major scar tissue and lesions and folded over itself and attached itself to my stomach wall, so when the camera went in, it punctured right through the si... woke up with a 13" incision going down my torso. stuck on dilaudid and morphine for 4 days on a p.a.c.... had just had pnemonia then buried my 27yr old sister who had epilepsy... needless to say i wanted to go home... they tried to get me to stay in for 4 weeks on ivs because nothing has been helping, my pft results haven't been above 48 after a week off the ivs, tried prednisone again... nothing helped. sooo now i'm at home, nauseaus again because drs have no clue how to take things slow and made me eat solid high cal foods the DAY AFTER my surgery.... can't cough because i'm in excruciating pain.. can't take the pain pills because of the lung depression... wtf!! any advice, other than prayer (because i'm beyond that) to help get over it... or through it... OH there was no evidence of endometriosis at all, though i'm sure they got distracted while i went into shock on the table.... sorry for the b__ching... parents are mourning over my sister and i dont want them to worry more about me, and all my friends can say is believe in god, but they all have happy normal lives and have never had to ? religion, so i really need something other than that bs...
thanks for letting me get it off my chest
