There seemed to be a question as to where are all the members that have had surgery with the famous doctors (Reich & Redan) so I thought I'd write in and let you know that my quality of life has certainly increased. The surgery has allowed me to lead a pretty normal life (going back to work, running my children to practices, games, etc.; all those things I once couldn't do with adhesions) which is why one doesn't hear much from me, although I do check in here and e-mail those I think I can help with any problems that were similar to mine. I think Helen and Bev do such a wonderful job here at the site, and are much more qualified than I to help those that are still suffering from this horrible disease,that I pretty much stay a silent reader. I still suffer some pain but don't attribute it to adhesions but more to the hysterectomy itself which I had in Dec. '99. I describe it as being in a car wreck, being put back together, but never being the same person I once was. I still see a pain specialist as we cannot find the source of the pain, but perhaps with time and therapy it will work its way out.
I pray that those of you still seeking relief from this disease find your way to a wonderful doctor that can help you.
I will never, never stop coming to this site, as it saved my life; therefore, I will always be here to help in anyway I can.
