In 2007 Karen Steward wrote the book " Doctors Bound By Secrecy? Victims
Bound
By Pain" Her daughter had such a horrible time growing up with
adhesions, and the Dr's. here in the states did nothing for her. Since
her surgeries, she is adhesion free, and has been blessed with 2
beautiful children, and is still doing wonderful. I still have not
purchased Karen's book, shame on me! She has helped a lot of people on
the Endogyn Website, including myself just by caring, sharing her
knowledge, and writing her book.
There also has been a pin designed looks like the ribbon pins, but is in
black and white. I believe that she was also on a few Television
programs promoting her book. You can go to her website to order the
book, and awareness pin. http://www.KarenSteward.com and also the book can be
ordered through Amazon.com. I feel every doctor that treats patients
with adhesions should have to read the book. I really want one for
myself, and for my sister-in-law that was just recently diagnosed with
ARD. I haven't spoke on line with Karen for a while, I just feel awful
most of the time. I will write the doctors TV program soon.
My husband needed help with the spoiled Border Collie Princess Sadie,
she won't let us clip her nails, the noise scares her. So...I tried
helping by holding her down, and she broke through, and just ripped me
more. I think we need doggie downers to do it :) we will take her to
the vet. Anyway, I hope this info helps. Cheryl D.
