BEST OF LUCK TO YOU. DOCTORS SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONES WE GO TO WHEN WE ARE
IN PAIN BUT THEY TURN OUT TO BE OUR ENEMIES-NOT BELIEVING IN OUR PAIN AND
MISERY. THEY SHOULD KNOW BY THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME A PATIENT IS ADMITTED FOR
SURGERY FOR ADHESIONS THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEXT TIME AND THEN TO
LISTEN TO THEIR PATIENT. BUT IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. THEY WANT TO MAKE YOU
THINK YOU ARE CRAZY WHEN YOU ARE NOT.
GLAD YOU FOUND THIS SITE. IT HAS MADE ME REALIZE THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE
ISN'T MUCH HOPE FOR ADHSION SUFFERERS WE ARE NOT ALONE AND WE ARE NOT CRAZY.
