Hi Stuart, Sorry to hear you need to take the meds as much as you are but I surely can understand. I am feeling great. Lost the acnes, fatigue, blood pressure in way down, nausea is gone, etc. I do have very minor soreness still but slowly going away. Do have significant bloating in my stomach which I feel will subside but even if it does not I'll take the trade off any day. I do hope Dr Gillespie can get you in much sooner than December. Ask him about an trigger point injection at St Joe's. He mentioned it to me. Best wishes, Jeff

Jeff, Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am glad to hear that your issue with ACNES has been cured. I hope any remaining issues disappear for you soon. If Dr. Gillespie said he would do the surgery tomorrow I would be there! I cannot imagine living with this level of upper abdominal pain for long much less until December. I made it 24-hours without taking a oxycodone. However the pain has been so intense this morning that I have had to take two 2.5-mg pills to tamp it down. I have had numerous trigger point injections. They help for a short time but the intense pain has always returned. This started slowly in 2014 and has gotten worse over the years. The last 8-months have been brutally hard. Until I saw your referral to Dr. Gillespie I had investigated every option. Jackie said that they received 97-pages of my records. Next Friday cannot come soon enough! Have a fine pain-free day. Thank you! Stuart
