My name is margi & I have had adhesions for many years. After many
surgeris & trips to doctors. They make you feel like it is in your
head. I finally found support & a doctor who is willing to do the
surgery, But I am trying to raise money for the expenses because i hvae
to travel 4 hours to get there. I have had multiple surgeries and still
in servere pain. I know someone who is doing everything she can to get
people like us the help we need. her name is agusta, her website is
ahesionsfoundation.org she will try to help you in everyway possible. My
email is margi707@yahoo.com hope to keep in touch with you.
