Dear Jessica..
I have not heard of any of those types of symptoms being associated with ARD
( adhesion related disease. ) It is best to allow you medical care provider
precribe whatever diagnostic tets they feel would be able to diagnose your
symptoms. It could range form a simply flue...which I had two qweeks ago and
even my teeth seemed to ache. But as with any lingerrting symptoms, it is
best to get it checked out...one of two things will happen...your symptoms
will subside or other symptoms will surgface giving your Dr. more to go on
as for a diagnosis and ultimatly a treatment..
Hope this helps you and that you'll be feeling better real soon
Regards Bev
