We moved from OH To New Castle, PA; I have been very ill with stomach problems. The doctors in this town do not care; I had to wait 2 months for a Dr to come from Pittsburgh and give me an Endoscopy; results were Gastritis and a Hiatal Hernia so the Dr from Pittsburgh perscribed Prevacid which constipates me. I never move my bowels without laxatives;they kill my stomach. I am waiting for a Colonoscopy scheduled 08/10/06. I am so ill I feel as though I am going to die but have no way of getting the Dr's to understand. I was told my meds cannot be changed until after the colonoscopy is completed. Now I am worried that my gallbladder is bad or I have a blockage. Does anyone know where I can get some quick medical help? We have United Health Care Insurance. Can someone out there help me? I am 64 yrs old and will not live much longer waiting for medical care here. I've explained the constipation, pain and that I bleed when I try to move my bowels, no response! Thank you so much!
