Re: PAM...to

[Guest guest]

, you sound just like me. It's just so sad that doctors won't

listen to their patients because of a few addicts who abuse pain

killers. I've been on oxycontin before too - 20mg every 12 hours and

that was after suffering for 2 years with excruciating pelvic pain

and multiple surgeries for adhesions. I finally got some relief with

the oxycontin and once the pain was under control I was actually able

to get better. It was no problem getting off them either. I weaned

down over a period of a few weeks and that was it.

I'm pretty sure all of the pain and adhesions were related to the

implants too because I had an ovary removed 8 months before I got

them and was on estrogen suppressing meds to keep endometriosis from

growing back. Then 3 months after getting the implants, the pain in

my pelvic area came back and got so bad so fast that I begged for a

hysterectomy. Then I had to have 3 more surgeries for adhesions. My

doctor thinks now that it was an immune reaction and my pelvic area

was the most vulnerable place in my body other than my breasts. I

don't know if that makes any sense, but it does to me - now anyways.

I hope your arm heals soon and I'll be praying for you on Monday. I

hope your feet feel better! I get my implants out Wednesday!!!

It makes sense to me that the symptoms would strike the vulnerable

parts of your system. I am so glad your not wasting anytime getting

those toxic bags out of your body! GOOD FOR YOU! You will have to

share all the details too about your explant, we need to hear more

good stories about different Dr's in different areas so that others

have more options!

Hugs and prayers to you,

good luck
