Welcome to KarenSteward.com

Thank you for visiting my website! "Open your mouth and say 'ahhhh.'  Nothing amiss in there. Where do you hurt? Okay, lie back and let me feel of your tummy. That hurts huh? Hurts bad, huh? Probably IBS. Could be spastic colon. Could be Crohn's disease. Are you depressed? What's going on at home? Yes, I think you're depressed......."
 

Have you ever felt ignored by the doctor,
or perhaps misdiagnosed? Read on..

What purpose has suffering...but to help those who suffer.

No one would want to give up fourteen years of life to illness—unresolved illness. But, this is what happened to my daughter, Melissa. Adhesion Related Disorder is an illness that eludes the probing eye of medical tests; many doctors shun the mere word ‘adhesions;' and society at large is not privy to this dreadful, often crippling, disorder. The statistics, however, are staggering! Adhesions have been shown to develop in up to 93% of surgical patients.  Even if you have not had surgery, as was true in Melissa’s case, adhesions can develop from underlying conditions within the body—conditions which cause inflammation—endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and appendicitis are good examples. The adhesions—abnormal attachments which fuse organs together—can not only leave the sufferer in pain, debilitated, lonely, confused, and searching in vain for an answer to the condition, but adhesions can also be life-threatening, especially when the intestines are involved. Doctors: Bound By Secrecy? Victims: Bound By Pain! is the inspiring story of hope and courage, even against all medical odds.
