It is a good article regarding endo, but it is sad that they cannot say the word, " ADHESIONS! " Scar tissue is mentioned, but this article doesn't begin to touch ARD ( adhesion related disease ) and what people suffer with. ARD is not only a woman disease, and it is much more common and costly then endo....soooo, maybe we all write to Alexandra Alger c/o Forbes and send a few of our story's as I will bet that there isn't even an awareness of ARD out there. And if they think that endo is costing money...wait until they look into ARD! This may be our first in as far as getting ARD recognized and focused on!

I know I am going to write this author ( I am not sure if Alexandra is a male or female, my guess is female, but?? ) ARD sufferers, think about writing your story's, let the world know how desperate we are, how mush we suffer, and then maybe our employers, DR's, insurance agents, and family and friends would see that even though we may " look " ok, we are truely sufferring with a disabiling, devastating disease...and one that is greatly ignored! That in itself, ignored, is a sin, but can easily be done as who knows about it in the right places to get action on it..no one, at least no one who will admit it!! Helen, thank-you for printing this article as we do not have the magazine in our town yet and I was running all over trying to get a copy...now I'll save my money to mail out my story to Alger!!!
