Thank you Lynn and Tish for your reply! I do not have a number for Bobbi but I am sure you can email her and she would be happy to talk to anyone that can guide her better than I can. I just hear her cry for help every time we chat online, and I am at a loss for words to help her. I really appreciate whatever either of you can do to help her. Again thank you so much for listening and replying!

Pain Free Hugs to you all Karen Carter >>Karen,

>>Hi, my name is Karen Carter. I am also an ARD Sufferer and my story is
>>on the quilt. Recently I have been corresponding with another one of our
>>ARD Friends on the board, I am very concerned about her. Her name is
>>Bobbi,
>>some of you may know her by the name "Sugarbear110263." She lives in
>>Arkansas.
>>She is in much pain and has no insurance at the moment. She
>>unfortunately missed
>>an important doctor appointment that was over 200 miles from her home
>>today.
>>They told her that the next available appointment for her wouldn't be
>>until Feb. 2003. That is so hard to believe.

>>I am wondering if there is someone in the Arkansas area that also
>>suffers from
>>Adhesions that is a Patient Advocate in that area that may be willing to
>>get her some help. She has gone to ER after ER and they flat out refuse
>>to help her.
>>I know when I needed help her in the Mid-Atlantic Region, my Patient
>>Advocate was Helen Chalmers, and she put me in touch with Pain
>>Management here locally and got me the help I needed within two weeks
>>time. She even went as far as calling my doctor and getting the
>>referral that I was flat refused by. I am wondering if there is someone
>>with similar experience could guide Bobbi in the right direction. I am
>>afraid for her. She says she knows without the help she fears she will
>>die from Adhesion Related Disease. I don't want that to happen. I fear
>>for her!
>>
>>I am pleading for another sufferer that may read this and know of her
>>situation or that lives within reasonable driving distance to her can
>>help steer her in the right direction and get her the proper pain
>>management and doctor referral.
>>Thank you all for listening to me. Just another friend who suffered
>>from ARD willing to do my best to see that another ARD Sufferer can have
>>some pain relief.
>>
>>In Health and Prayer,
