Ah, I see. So your blood vessels are not getting innervation or not responding to signals. So, besides the pooling, I imagine you get very woozy and feel like passing out.

Now I understand why you are stuck in bed. Did this happen AFTER your gastric bypass?

Indeed. The pain wouldn't keep me in bed. It may prevent me from teaching in a classroom and standing for 8 hours a day... but I'd at least be up and moving around...even if only in a wheelchair. Unfortunately, nobody can figure out how to help me with the pooling and therefore I remain stuck in bed.

Yes.. I had the surgery on August 13th (2009) and the neuropathy pain started in December.

Oh SarahMae, how frustrating, to have had this surgery to try to get better and end up with this!

I would love to make this better for you in real life, but I can't....so, how about you join me on my bicycle for 10, and you don't need to pedal.....

I am sure somehow, some one will figure this out....in the meantime, I am sure your blogging about things will help a lot of people gain perspective about their own lives.

It is indeed very frustrating! However, I'm learning that almost everyone on this site is just as frustrated as I am--just about different things. So at least I am in good company!

I'd love it if you (or me or anyone!) could make this better too... but for now I guess I will just have to be patient and wait... and hope that someday, someone out there can figure it out.

Until then, I'd LOVE to ride on your bicycle... and that's great about the pedaling, because the front half of my feet are so sore and numb that I wouldn't be much help anyway! haha Gotta learn to laugh or this would all be so incredibly depressing.
