But, there are times when anything I eat messes up my whole system. It really doesn't help that I'm struggling to keep / gain weight. I don't understand why there are so many things that just seemingly have no explanation. It's disheartening.

Like Emily, I had stomach ultraound and visited a Gastroenterologist. We could never pinpoint a specific diagnosis but I have suffered with IBS for years. Sometimes things go accordingly and other times, "The Earth is off its axis" and everything is dysfunctional in my body. <br /><br />So do know that there are many that suffer with abdominal problems with no known cause. I ask these sort of questions to every Doctor I come into contact with...."How many patients you see with these problems/complaints and no diagnosis is made?" Their Reply: 100's<br /><br />Same for my headaches......discouraging!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314571900243142661.post-3970209508105884612013-07-20T15:37:07.859-07:002013-07-20T15:37:07.859-07:00Emily, I'm glad to hear that you and your doct...Emily, I'm glad to hear that you and your doctor are working to manage your abdominal pain. I hope to figure out how to better manage mine sooner than later.

That's quite scary.<br /><br />I had a laparoscopic surgery almost 9 years ago because my Gyno was almost positive I had endometriosis - I've always had severe menstrual cramping, among other things. But, even she was surprised to have found nothing to explain the symptoms.<br /><br />I've dealt with gastro issues, including severe abdominal pain, for much of my life. But, this was different... though some past episodes might've had some similar aspects.<br /><br />I haven't had the intensity of the pain, since back in May.

I hope you get answers soon! I also have had awful stomach pain for the past few years actually, and I had to go the ER last month. I also did an ultrasound, abdominal x-ray, CT with and without contrast (YUCK), and a hidascan, among some other tests. My GI thinks it is a mild form of gastroparesis, and I've made some dietary changes that have helped. I truly hope you find some answers, and more importantly, relief soon.Emilyhttp://www.thatmword.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314571900243142661.post-64541579253805633122013-07-18T15:39:45.038-07:002013-07-18T15:39:45.038-07:00Hi Jamie,
So sorry to hear things have really been...Hi Jamie,<br />So sorry to hear things have really been extra rough for you these past months! I was hospitalized once upon a time for extreme abdominal pain and even though they saw a cyst from ultrasound, ER doc didn't seem concerned! I went see my GYN who proceeded to do a laparoscopy and it turns out I had a ruptured cyst along with Endometriosis Stage 3! Of course none of that could be picked up from ultrasound! Well here we are years later and I am 4 weeks post op from abdominal hysterectomy! Recovery has been rough but I had no choice as I had a huge fibroid making my uterus the size of a 5 month pregnant woman! <br /><br />I do hope your stomach, neck and shoulder pain have greatly improved or the pain has left you. I am sure your like, black cloud move to someone else's head!<br /><br />I continue to admire your strength and courage in your journey through chronic pain! Always keep your Faith . <br /><br />Hugs my dear friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314571900243142661.post-73101539857531270422013-07-18T15:39:06.095-07:002013-07-18T15:39:06.095-07:00Are they sure it didn't burst?
