At age 18 she developed severe right abdominal pain. The doc called it Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and later Crohns Disease. The pain worsened. And both IBS and Crohns were ruled out. The pain worsened more. On the pain scale she called it an 8-9. Every imaginable gastro-ent and OBGYN exam and test were negative. Exploratory surgery revealed nothing. Now at age 20 she was admitted to respectable hospital where some genius doc figured she was simply a drug seeker. He plan of action was mainly to wean her off drugs (pain meds). After a few days in the hospital she attempted suicide. The pain is/was too much to bear. And todate no one has any idea as to the source of the pain.

The hospital released her because they can't do any more for her. And she now awaits admission into a psychiatric hospital with an excellent reputation for pain management. Perhaps some answers await.

In the meantime does anyone have any thoughts or ideas. PM me if you'd like.
