Hi, Dear Joe, I just wanted to say what a good job you did in
writing that email and what a great job you are doing in supporting
your wife. My story is similar in many ways to yours. If my husband
had not been strong and supportive enough to practically carry me to
Germany and Dr. Kruschinski, I probably would not be here today. The
unending pain gets you down. Its so hard to function and remain
optimistic,
but if you have family who just plain refuse to let you give up, its
incredibly helpful. Obviously, you have to be motivated yourself, or
its all for nought. ARD destroys lives in so many ways, by taking away
our abilities and replacing them with pain and mental confusion. After
hearing
doctor after doctor telling you that you are crazy and its all in your
head
and adehsions don't cause pain, it takes a lot of strength to just hold
your head high and keep on going. We are not the problem, the incorrect
information
taught in medical schools is the problem. So dear Joe and Irene, keep on
trying and good luck to you both. You deserve the best. Love, Sally
Grigg
