SPASTIC COLON, DOCTORS ARE NO HELP!

HELLO, I HAVE POSTED ONCE BEFORE ON THIS AND DID NOT GET A RESPOSE.  THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR.  HAD SEVERE DIARRHEA WITH PAINFUL CONTRACTIONS IN MY COLON.  THEY DID 2 COLONOSCOPYS, 2 PROCEDURES DOWN MY THROAT, MULTIPLE BLOOD TESTS, MRIS , X-RAYS, YOU NAME IT I'VE HAD IT!  THE ONLY THING THAT THEY COULD COME UP WITH IS THAT MY WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT WAS HIGH. IN THE MEAN TIME THE CONTRACTIONS ARE GETTTING WORSE, I WOULD GO TO THE BATHROOM AT LEAST 20-30 TIMES A DAY, NOT LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT!  WHEN THERE IS NO BM, I STILL HAVE THE CONTRATIONS AND MUCUS(LOOKS LIKE EGG WHITES) WILL COME OUT INSTEAD.  I AM NOW SEEPING THIS MUCUS ALL THE TIME.  AT THIS TIME MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON A LARGE DOSE OF GABAPENTON, WORKED GREAT FOR ABOUT A MOUNTH THEN IT ALL CAME BACK.  AND THIS TIME I HAVE PAIN FROM MY RIB CAGE TO MY NAVAL AND DOWN THE LEFT SIDE OF MY TUMMY THAT ALSO GOES TO MY LOWER BACK ALL THE TIME.  NOW THEY WANT TO DO A SCOPE DOWN MY THROAT AGAIN.  I'M SO WEAK AND TIRED ALL THE TIME.  I CANT EVEN WASH THE DISHES WITH OUT THE PAIN GETTING WORSE.  NEED ADVICE!!!
