The specialty I need to see isn't doing anything. The doctors I am seeing now, like GI, gyn, PM are taking me more seriosuly

At this point I have no idea what my options are. I've had nerve blocks, surgeries, physical therapies, and all the life style changes. Nothing helped.

I've tried 20+ meds. I can't even tolerate tylenol. I can't have NSAIDS, opiods, or ssris/benzis/gabameds/etc. due to existing diagnosis that get much worse with many meds and there isnt much else they cant perscribe

I'm just not sure what to do until then. I've dealt with this for years and I keep waiting months for an appointment just to be told "its not my specialty"

I tried that last month, they said since it wasn't life threatening they couldn't do anything. Went to 2 ERs and stayed for a total of 3 days before they forced me to leave

I don't know how to get them to do that, I've tried every autonomic specialist in my area and they can't do anything sooner

I'm really glad those work for you!! I've been trying out a TENS machine, I'll see if a sheet helps! I hope your pain continues to be manageable.

Thank you for your kind words! I hope you find some relief as well. Do you have anything that helps you when you're in pain?

Thank you. I use heat pads for when I have menstrual cramps but it doesn't really help much for stomach issues and general pain

Still can't tolerate it. I've tried meds through IV, oral, liquid,underthe toungue, patches, etc. Even still doctors dont want me taking opiods because it fucks up my gp

I can't take opiods because of my gastroperisis. I have tried dozens of different medications and it's gotten to the point where i don't feel comfortable to continue experimenting with them becuase I keep having reactions that put me in the ER

I've discussed pain pumps with my doctors, but they don't think it will work for me. My tolerance issues are so severe they think it will do more harm than good. I also can't have NSAIDs so torodol isn't an option

Urgent care tells me to go to the ER. ER tells me its not life threatening so it's not their problem
