Default Reversals?

Well guys...

Saw the doc this morning after yet another long painful weekend and she thinks maybe I should consider a reversal. It's been a month and I"m still having more bad days than good. She is concerned that my labs are poor even though I'm getting in food and supplements... the pain is never gone these days...

My questions is do you know anyone that has had reversal? I'd like ot see some stats on it and I've been trying to find stuff on the internet but not much luck.

The doc said some bodies just can't handle it and although she doens't like the option of reversal it might be my only choice. I start TPN this week to get stable and build up strength. I have to donate blood a few times before and she wants me to seriously think about scheduling for September.

I don't mind admitting that I'm scared... or terrified might be a better word. I'm sitting here crying thinking why isn't this working for me. Crying because not sure I can handle the unknown at this point... what if it doens't work and I'm just subjecting my body to more pain, scar tissue and depletion... What if it's to late....

Any sage words of advice for you guys would be great....
