MDJunction to me

HiddenButterfly"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)

I know others have suffered from severe abdominal pain, I have too, but this is on a whole different level. It took 3 hospitals to convince them I wasn't faking.

CTs, blood work, ultrasounds have all been negative. I had a nerve cut about 5 months ago in the upper abdomen. Has anyone seen research to show that Lyme can infect nerve tissue?

I was fine until very recently. Pain started in appendix, and then crept across hip and up abdomen. They sent me home on pain killers, while each specialist passes me off to the next, each telling me they don't know what's wrong. (Duh.)

I have delt with many unexplained pains that have led to a lot of medical bills.

I had pain in my ovary, and gallbladder. Had an ultrasound on both and nothing was found.

Then my appendix, kidneys, and liver started to hurt from time to time as well. It goes around and around.

Everytime I get an ultrasound done it is normal and the pain is left unexplained.

I did read somewhere that Lyme Disease people will have pains in the ovaries and organs to, so after reading that I was not too worried anymore. I figure in time it will go away along with everything else.

Hang in there, that's all we can do.
