Well, she finally went to a doctor who decided that based on how she described her symptoms her gall bladder neeed to be checked out -- IMMEDIATELY!! Guess what? That was exactly what was causing all the trouble!!!!! The poor thing had been in so much misery for so many years -- in and out of doctor's offices, emergency rooms, being told she was making it all up, etc. She is so-o-o-o much better now. 8-)
I went through the same issues. Once they finally did a scan of my gall bladder they saw it was full. Once they took it out (when I was almost 40 years old) they said I had this problem since I was a teenager! It's amazing how much is dismissed my doctors just because they think you are too young to have issues like this.
Good luck and you'll both be in my prayers.
