The question is, how do you find a doctor that believes this to be true? I know without a shadow of a doubt that I don’t metabolize or digest to the full dosage of a pill no matter size or dosage or coating. I have no large intestine and only half of my small intestine which happens to be full of scar tissue. My problem is getting a pain doctor to believe me when I say that I need a liquid version of pain medicine or an injection or they’re gonna have to double the dose so I can actually get the dose that is intended. I’m immediately treated as a drug addict. It’s humiliating and mortifying I was in a near fatal motorcycle accident on December 18 of 2021. I had a one percent chance of survival. I lost over half my organs, shattered the majority of my bones, have a traumatic brain injury due to brain bleed And the list goes on and’s on. let’s just say that I have a severe chronic pain. The accident was only two years ago. My body is still trying to recover. I died three times the third time they had to cut me open and pull out my heart and massage it . Now I have an ileostomy built with only 50% of my small intestine of which is full of scar tissue, and I have a 2 mm window to pass food through. I have had 19 surgeries and 85 blood products since my accident. I have four more surgeries to go. I suffer from chronic severe debilitating Pain . How do you get past the stigma that doctors put on you of being a drug addict and get them to understand that it’s my ileostomy that is causing the issues not an addiction nor is it all in my head. I may be physically accustomed to these drugs, but mentally emotionally and spiritually I don’t even want to be on them. I spent thousands of dollars trying every holistic treatment possible to no avail . Now I’m signing up for all the surgeries that I need to try to get through this pain but until then my pain must be managed so as I can actually live my life especially after surgery. If anybody can give me any advice on how to get these doctors to stop treating me like a drug addict to take my ileostomy seriously and my chronic pain seriously I would love to hear from you
