Let's Go Back in Time

My therapist told me that i should blog about my abdominal pain and see if anyone knows anything that might help. And i figured i needed to start with a little history. So lets go back, almost 4 years to the day..I was in riverside hospital. Had been admitted for severe abdominal pain. Ive been in this bed eating this food for a couple days now. Dr. Oneil comes and says after all my tests they think i need to have my gall bladder removed!! I mean I'd heard it was a common surgery but everyone i knew was at least 20 years old than me when they had it. We had the outpatient surgery the very next day. It was hard to heal from. I immediately began throwing up when i got home. And imagine my surprise when a week later that very same pain was back!! Its a stabbing, sharp pain above 3 inches about my pelvis in my right lower abdomen. And from that day i feel this pain almost every day. Its usually associated with nausea and vomitting. some times the pain itself gets so bad that my body shuts down and i lose conciousness. Ive been through tests and tests and more tests. Ive seen every kind of specialist you could think of. I need help. The pain is unbearable, i have a one year old little girl and she is beautiful and I cant take care of her because there are days i cant even move...its heart breaking. i want to be normal again. i want to love life and be happy. i want the pain to stop...i just want to know whats wrong...i think tomorrow i'll get in to some tests. but i'd be glad to answer any questions.
