Doctors: Bound by Secrecy? Victims:
Bound by Pain! is author Karen Steward's account of
her daughter Melissa's 14-year battle with ARD: Adhesion
Related Disorder.
This is a book about a mother and daughter's
fearless battle against impossible odds, and their
final triumph over an agonizing hidden illness. This
book aims to highlight the difficulties of adhesions
with the hope that those who are ill will no longer
have to suffer.
In telling Melissa's story - a story
that belongs to thousands of other victims of ARD
- this book describes:
- the true story of a young girl who suffered because
doctors misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated an illness
they either did not recognize, or refused to acknowledge.
- the conditions and pain that ARD-sufferers endure
physically and socially.
- the diagnoses and treatments commonly prescribed
for ARD-sufferers, because Melissa endured them all.
- the attitudes of society and the medical profession
towards ARD, which is aggravated because standard
medical tests do not detect the disorder.
- Melissa's heartrending story: with a sense of humor
and wit, despite the trauma, agony and frustration.
This book is written to inspire the reader to continue
to seek help, even when doctors insist you must "live
with the pain." It challenges the reader to trust
their own intuitive mind.
Above all, this book serves as a
voice for all people who suffer from adhesions. The
book was written to inspire, educate and provide hope,
along with shattering the silence that surrounds Adhesion
Related Disorder.
