Oh Kelly Dear, this is the vicious cycle with ARD, surgery to remove the
adhesions, the adhesions return, surgery, adhesions, surgery, adhesions.
Some have made it, some of us have not. That is why we are here; helping one
another stay sane until there's a cure, or a higher percentage of those that
make it without the adhesions returning. Some have gone to Germany as they
are using intergel there and are now adhesion free, some have gone to Drs.
Redan, Reich and Gerhardt in Penn. and have had success there. No one knows
why some have made it and others of us that have not. Some have had dozens
of surgeries only to have them return, and so we sit and wait until some
wonderful medical breakthrough comes through and pray for that day to be
soon. Please read the adhesion quilt to see the success stories and then
perhaps it will help you make a decision as to what to do next.
