Hi, I dug this most eloquent posting from the archives. I have noticed
many are sounding desparate about seeking surgical interventions. A
rush to surgery can have ramifiction beyond our belief. I credit this
site for giving me the ultimate tool as an ARD sufferer....a proper
education on what it means to be a sufferer of this disease. Please
read the post though it is long and may it lead you to the adhesion
quilt. This site is about education. The sad fact is people are
repeatly having unsuccessful surgical interventions, people in
desparation asking for a doctor somewhere somehow who will take it all
away.
You must take the time to ask your questions to the archives, know this
site back and forth. It's a busy world and time is tight, you may have
been slowing down but this could very well save your life. Don't mean
to sound scary but these are the blunt facts.
Thanks Wally
Thanks Karla
