I had the mesenteric and celiac duplex ultrasound with inspiration and expiration along with full abdomen CT scan. Now I wait to hear back from the university which is 5 hours away. This is the only location in Oregon that does the procedure. (We are very short on qualified healthcare workers out here especially in the region I retired to. ) After I hear from them ; then it's the waiting to get permission from insurance company to receive any type of healthcare out here.
Being retired law enforcement in the scope I served in, not sure I want to create a FB account;-)
Sorry your pain was so awful , but glad you're better now.
If I would have stayed on the job just 2 more years I would be getting a pension, then I would have the resources to go to another state to have the surgery done.
Thankfully my issue is mild although it does not feel so mild some days.
Thank you for the support and suggestions.

I also had to retire early bc of pain. I also traveled across the us for treatment bc just 4 years ago, there were very few surgeons doing this surgery. I waited 9months so I could get the insurance needed. It’s sad that insurance doesn’t recognize that this is a syndrome that isn’t diagnosed very often, so they don’t see the need to use skilled surgeons. I hope you find answers.

Can you use family members Facebook page? When you join MALS you can post anonymously. These Facebook pages saved my life and are the best resource and support you'll find. You could probably make up a name to use. I hope you find answers.
