Dear Annette,
Please go to the International Adhesions Society (IAS) webpage at:
http://www.adhesions.org/. Read some of the stories on the Adhesions
Quilt and consider adding your own story.
You will find some very nice supportive people on the IAS Message Board,
who will do their best to answer your questions.
Alot of information about Endometriosis is stored in the IAS Archives.
Simply
1.) Enter: http://www.adhesions.org/forums/
2.) Scroll to the bottom and enter Endometriosis (for example) in the
search box
3.) Click: Search Adhesions
NOTE: Most of my messages consist of websites of information from the
Internet. If you enter my name (Helen Dynda) in the search box (step #
2), you will find a wealth of information.
I hope you find this information helpful!!
