  • 09/25/97 - follow up abdominal pains (every now and then; back to normal). 


  • 06/05/98 - I was not able to get rid of all the abdominal pains until early 1998. I did receive some samples of flagyl to see if that would work.

  • 11/12/98 - I have been off of flagyl for awhile  and no problems are reoccurring. I feel much better. I have also stopped going to the doctor unless I get really sick, since I do not have any medical insurance. I have filed a claim for disability in the middle of 1998 and was turned down.


  • 06/24/03 - To this day the abdominal pains have not returned. It has been 5 years almost to the day. What was figured is that they may have been caused by some type of blockage or even possibly from stress or physical work. This has not been determined, but those are the only reasonable explanations we can come up with.

  • 06/25/03 - For the last 4 years which I did not want to put on this site (since I sent insurance companies to review some of my history) is that I have some type of opening between my scrotum and rectal area. It reacts kind of like a cist of some sort that always drains. At first I thought it was a fistula, but have determined that out since there are no other problems.  Still to this day I have not made a visit to the doctor since it doesn't worry me to much.
