Chronic illness is killing me

I've been sick for a few years now and have had every medical testing done. The abdominal pain is growing every day. Every time I try to eat the pain gets worse and vomiting starts. The doctors have basically laughed me our of their office. So now I sit at home with an ice pack on my tummy to try and keep the pain down enough to bare. I've lost my whole life. I can't walk,sleep or simply enjoy a good movie through this pain. I'm slowly watching myself die. I'm not expecting a response simply cause I know that nobody can help me. Atleast I know once I'm dead, I won't feel this horrendous pain and with any luck. I might see my mom again. Thanks for reading my thoughts. I have no one to share them with anymore.

    Hi wendigo.. I feel so sorry for you & the intense amount of sufferance you have already endured.. No one should go through the 'push & shove' when it comes to constant pain - It really disturbs me when I see or hear about people who have not had a FULL & thorough medical..    I totally agree with everyone's feedback..  Have you been ruled out for IBS?

      IBS was the first thing they ruled out. They put me on fiber supplement which cuts of pain to get a heck of a lot worse. But at the point I was willing to try anything

      Prune juice helps a little. Stimulant laxatives cause terrible pain. Stool softner helps a little too

      I drink prune juice with most meals. Some times Ensure causes cramps on an empty stomach

      Yeah, I had the same experience with ensure. Maybe I'll try a little prune juice at intervals through out the day. Certainly can't hurt to try! Thank you!
