I don't care, I see how ignored I am being. I went on Oprah.com and suggested this as a show she should do. I will go onto every show's website and suggest this as a show they should do. What, we can go into the military and fight but we can't be heard about a serious medical issue? Baloney!! Girl I am fired up and am really angry. There is plenty of information about these, I read a 100 yr. old article written about adhesions written by a male dr. I am going to make sure cleveland clinic knows about this website and the information available regarding this issue. I am dropping weight like crazy now and I am sick all the time. All the doctors tell me I am as healthy as you can get. I'm pissed!! Together we can raise alot of heck in alot of places. I wonder how many women like me suffered and didn't even know what they are suffering from? How many more people are out there with this problem?
