Renee,

The responses you have gotten should be a clear indication to all of us that we really need to research before we go off to different doctors for more ssurgery. There is such ignorance when it comes to ARD. The first thing I must say though is that I am not surprised that noone knows the name ARD. This is just a term that was decided upon by some of the early members to this group. It is not that the condition is new.....it has just been given a name.
