- I have had IBS all my life, even as a small child. I am now 57. The only thing I can count on every day is pain. My attempt to manage it have included diet, exercise, meditation, medication, denial, outrage, depression, anxiety, and humor. The only...
- Has anyone ever taken this drug? I have been going through a terrible spell that has last a month and a half. I had a great deal of pain that was in the upper left side and went around to the back. It sometimes feels like something is boring...
- I have been posting here pretty regularly. I am in the middle of an attack going on three weeks. I think I've lost about 15 lbs. I'm struggling to stay hydrated as even fluids make me ill. The pain is no longer bad because I haven't eaten much but...
- I posted before that I'm in a flare and haven't been able to eat much for two weeks. I'm trying to keep myself hydrated. I had a boiled potato and chicken broth last night and was retching again this morning. I guess I will go back to toast with...
- I don't want to dis this group, but there really isn't much action here. Are some of you in support groups that are more active?
- Just some history. I was married for 18 years, most of it bad. I was in love initially but I was not able to be truly intimate. We have two children. My relationship with them is ok; my daughter has some resentment towards me which is another story....
- I haven't been DXd with pancreatitis but have had all the blood tests and an ERCP with stent placed which did no good. My amylase has periodically been high, but not greatly. My symptoms are pain in the stomach area which extends around the rib cage...
- It seems so many of us struggle with pain which seems to be pancreatitis without a positive diagnosis. I just had a CT scan with the radiologist saying he saw something in the head of the pancreas like pancreatic cancer. Then they did an MRI with...
- My pain starts in the pit of my stomache, as if I swallowed a softball. Sometimes when I wake up in the mornings I'll be Ok for a few minutes and then it feels like a switch gets thrown and the churning begins.The pain radiates around the front just...
- Hi, all. This is the first time I've logged on since my surgery. Some of you know I had ACDF neck surgery and 3 laminectomies on March 15. I'm ecstatic to report that the pain in my legs is almost gone and the balance problems and other pain issues...
- Hi, friends, I am running out of insurance the end of March. For the last year I have lived with the choice I made for no surgery. After a very emotional week, I have decided to have two surgeries done. The NS agreed to do them both at the same...
- Does anyone here have fibromyalgia? I used to think that was a catchall dump for people who hurt but the docs didn't know what to tell them. I also used to think it was people who couldn't just pull themselves up by the bootstraps. The research on...
- If you would have to give the one thing you are most grateful for, what would it be? And just to make it interesting, let's say it can't be family or friends. (I bet I know the answer. I'll add up all the responses in a day or so and tell you if I...
- This subject comes up regularly (pun intended!). I have tried almost every product out there and I've found that Miralax is the only reliable product I've ever used. Had to resort to enemas and other drastic measures before, but with generic Miralax...
- My insurance will run out the end of March, so I have to find a cheap pain medication both for extended relief and for breakthrough pain. Has anyone had good results with Methadone? Right now I am on Oxycontin 30 mg CR twice a day and 10/600...
