Chalupa,
how sad you have not been able to find any relief! You would think that there must be something that will help to treat your condition! I am sure there is! The most important thing is to get a correct diagnoses. Once you have that, steps can be taken toward proper treatment.
Have other conditions resulting in similar symptoms been considered or investigated by your physician? In my experience, some doctors stick with their initial "diagnosis" instead of admitting they may have been wrong. This even when certain factors come to light through time that were not present initially, and DON"t quite fit the established pattern.
The fact that none of the drugs to date have helped could mean that they are not the right ones for treating your condition! (Read: the condition they are designed to treat may NOT be what you have!)..Just a thought.

hI FLOWERGIRL,
i HAVE EVRY TEST DONE FROM HEART-LUNGS ETC. Everything is fine. In my last endoscopy they found alittle reflux and small haital hernia and gastritis, and they think i may have ceiacs. I have been on a gluten free diet for 2 weeks and still no difference . My regular doc doesn't think i have celiacs because the blood tests where very low for celiacs. They now want me to try elavil 10mg for ibs. They think that maybe my stomach is pushing up on my diaphram and causing all this. I feel like a rat that they are just trying things on.
