I found the most incredible GI doctor from the oddest place -- my EYE doctor! He is very well-connected, as is his wife, with "who is good, who is not" in the medical world. If you have ANY MD's that you like or trust, or for that matter, nurses, PA's -- people who are "in the know" . . . . start asking around.
If you know anyone who is an adjuster...
Oh, I don't think that's what it is that I have, then . . . . mine is just like a balloon fills the top of my stomach . . . I get pretty bad chest pain, then I (often) vomit. Don't think that's the same . . . .
Hey . . . that stuff happens to me while I'm eating . . . . It feels like I have a huge balloon in my stomach and chest and then BINGO . . . it's off to the races.

Wouldn't recommend it for someone new at this stuff, either. I learned (the...
I think I had scarlet fever when I was a really little kid. . . .
I agree with Stacie -- there are a LOT of good gluten-free treats out there! My husband and I like to go on shopping expeditions to see what we can find. He is much better than me at finding the good stuff! Once you get used to that kind of shopping (and that kind of price), gluten...
ravenwoodglass: It is so nice to hear someone talk nicely about physical therapy treatment! I'm a physical therapist -- I had my own clinic, but because this stupid disease affects my brain et. al, I had to close it. I specialized in Women's health -- urinary and fecal incontinence, pregnancy, post-partum. The treatment really is fairly effective, isn...
Don't have time to post my tons of bad doctor stories now, but I have to tell you, I love the name of the thread, the comments have been hilarious, and I think this is GREAT!!!!! Lynne
Hi Shirley -- I have inflammation of the Costal Cartilages in my first three ribs on both sides. It hasn't been diagnosed as Tietze's disease, though. I have just been told that I have ligamentous laxity, and that it allows the ribs to move too far through range of motion, which causes the cartilage to inflame. I have a friend who's really knowledgeable...
