Kelly (NoahsMommy) Needs PRAYERS - Hospitalized 11/04/'05

His medical license should be revoked. What a jerk. If your pain isn't related to Crohn's, then he should be recommending another specialist. That's what my doctors did. Over the years, I've changed doctors at a drop of a hat until I found ones who really cared that I was stooped over , walking like I was 90, and in pain for 30+ years. They all called me at home when they found out my mom died! They didn't have to do that. I'm so blessed. They all believe that in this day and age, there is no reason a person has to be in agony, and if they are, there's a reason, and let's find it. I'm so angry for you! My mom was in the hospital 9x in one year and we always either had or passed by the same ER nurses and doctors, and they always came in to say hello, sorry you're back etc. When the waiting room was full, we got taken right away. The nursing manager is always around and I know that if the nurses don't make the grade, they're reprimanded, suspended or fired. When my mom, at one time, in ICU, got manical and rude (not like her) and God Bless those nurses who took it in stride and were as sweet as could be. I was embarrassed and apologized, but they said not to worry about it. I don't mean to go on and on, but I can't believe YOU of all people, sweet as you are, could be treated like crap. My theory is "what goes around, comes around". Please please find a new doctor and check the medical board for his credentials and any complaints etc. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Sorry, I'll get off my soap box. But you and I are "old pros" at this stuff. I pray for you every night that you feel better. I hate that you're still suffering so. It breaks my heart. I don't know you that well, and I never met you, but I feel like you're a girlfriend and I care very much about you.

Kelly I am so sorry you are suffering this pain and on top of it you are being treated so poorly. Sounds like they are a bunch of bullies and they know how nice you are so you are an easy target....it makes me really mad. You definetely need to find somebody that will treat you right.

You poor thing. I'm so sorry that hospital is treating you like that.

*HUGS*

I hope your new doctor is much much nicer.

I think that one of the biggest problems Kelly encounters - is that so few people really understand her disease.

I have some dear friends and the husband who is in his 60's, has Crohn's.
Several years ago they stayed with me for over a week for a family wedding.

I can tell you first hand - that this disease causes huge problems for a man who has had it for years. He would not eat so as not to upset his system and several times during the week he could not attend various functions because he simply did not feel well.

You never know............it just hits you............and it is difficult to get your body back in control.

He is also on many medications........all to control it.

Because this is new for Kelly - (just a few years) they are trying so many ways to help her - so she has to take many medications. A clerk can make a bad judgement at the pharmacy - and assume Kelly is just a druggie.

Can you imagine how that makes her feel? It just breaks my heart.

Our support for Kelly means more to her than she could ever express. All of us have been able to follow her ups and downs - and hopefully have a better understanding of why this happens to her.

I am one of the very fortunate ones who knows Kelly - and I can attest to the fact - when she is in pain - she isn't kidding or overreacting........she HURTS!

She needs our prayers and support and it is great we are all here to give her what she needs from us.

Here we have been and here we will stay, as long as dear Kelly needs us. I just wish I were closer Try to stay strong and hopeful beautiful Kelly, as hard as it must be at times like this. We love you.
