thank you, take care of yourself, Sorry I'm so down on this illness, but I only get a few good moments every now and then, usually sleeping.

Hi @les2436,

I saw that you posted a comment after viewing the Dr. Amy Oxentenko’s video on chronic abdominal wall pain (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/gastroenterology-and-gi-surgery/newsfeed-post/chronic-abdominal-wall-pain/).

You wrote, "I have redundant colon, in 3 areas, sigmoid, transverse, and desending . Only have Florida Medicaid, Need Help ASAP. Pain horrible, can't afford Mayo.” I know it’s disheartening, but I was wondering if you know about Mayo Clinic’s "Charitable Care and Financial Assistance” program? Mayo Clinic appropriately serves patients in difficult financial circumstances and offers financial assistance to those who have an established need to receive medically necessary services and meet criteria for assistance. You can find all the details here:

In the meantime, may I ask how you are managing the your pain?
