Oh! Where and how to begin? My wife has ARD and I could dicourse for
hours and pages on the subject but I shall try to be brief.
I (we) thought that perhaps the IAS, bombobeach, and persons afflicted
by ARD might like to hear from someone directly and personally impacted
by this insidious and muvh-mis-understood- condition.
Most of you reading this already know the statistics and have a working
knowledge of ARD or you would not be reading this in the first place. My
intent is to help educate people in direct contact with afflicted
individuals and to perhaps help them better understand the dynamics and
side-effects of Ard.
First off; correct diagnosis is elusive and difficult, many friends and
family members may think something like this: " the Drs.can't find
anything obviously and conclusively wrong through extensive (and
expensive!)testing so therefore; the problem must be in the sufferer's
head!" Wrong!!This condition is real. Many medical professionals say or
claim that adhesions do not cause pain but they are wrong, wrong, wrong!
