Please read-I need help

[Guest guest]

Please read what I've written below, of what I am experiencing.

Whatever is happening to me feels very serious-it feels to me that if

the doctors do not figure it out-it is going to kill me. Since the

doctors have yet to figure it out I am hoping and praying someone

else may have knowledge, or know of someone who might give some

insight to my situation.

The painful episodes began in 2000 and were in the area of my groin-

at the top of my left leg. I felt as if something was cutting off or

interfering with the blood supply in that area. I had a very tight

sensation along the crease at the top of my left leg. This also

created pain in my pubic region. I believe during one occasion they

did an ultrasound and said there was increased blood flow in my left

pelvic area.

In later years it seemed it was more in my abdomen but again the same

sensation of something being cut off. The word ischemic seemed to be

a good description and it would seem like it involved my large

intestine. I'm only guessing-these are the terms that seemed to fit

best. Again the sensation was completely on the left side. The main

sensation was there was interference in something. One time, when I

went to the hospital, they did a cat scan and said I had an inflamed

colon with wall-thickening. I've always wondered if it was a result

of interference somewhere else with the blood supply.

In more recent years it seems to be in my chest area and at times

feels as if it " affects " my heart and lung system but not that they

are the cause. If feels as if something is interfering with the

blood flow (?) in the center of my left chest going up to my shoulder

and then branches off towards my right arm and to my neck.

The sensations have always affected my left side only. The term that

I have said over and over when these episodes occur is that it feels

like the flow of something is being cut-off/interfered with.

Whatever is happening is so awful that it creates a very nauseous

feeling within me. Sometimes it stops before the pain gets too

severe so the nausea seems the more prominent sensation however it is

not the significant event-I don't believe, but rather a reaction to

something bigger that is occurring.

Thank you for reading this.
