Subject: My story with adhesions
> Am I glad I finally found something on the horrible disease. I had a
> hysterctomy in 1989 due to endometriosis. I have had 5 surgeries since,
> (one every two years or so) to remove adhesions. My doctor told me that
> he can no longer treat me or do surgery as the adhesions are "Live
> vessels" and bleeding is now a concern. I have two places in the lower
> colon where the adhesions are growing and blocking. The pain is more
> than I can handle some days and physically and emotionally I am drained!
> I have been referred to the University of Washington, in Seattle, but
> the doctors there just tell me to live with it and consider pain
> management. I have called all I can think of in the area I live but
> have yet to find anyone who can help. Has the type of "Therapy" worked
> for anyone?
> Thank you so much for this web sight. I look forward to hearing from
> you soon.
