USC medical center, here I come...(maybe)

I'm going to rename you Squiggle Butt, after the rat that is currently running in her wheel.

I have a friend who is going through a lot of what you are. He has gastreo paresis (sp?). He even got sent to UCLA to find out what was causing it. The Dr he saw there told him it was all in his head and that he needed a shrink. The other many, many Drs he's been to have all said the same thing. It is partly stress related and that the only way to fix it is to remove the part of his stomach that isn't working. In the middle of all of this he has been having trouble at work (SBC). They decided that they didn't like him taking time off so they sent him to a 2nd opinion to try to get a different diagnosis that his own Dr. When the 2nd opinion agreed with his first they sent him to a 3rd. After over 6 months of waiting to see if he still had a job the 3rd opinion came back and agreed with the other 2. Now he is being followed by Asset Protection any time he is out ill. I am sososooo glad I don't work there.

At least it sounds like things are looking up for you.
