Spirit Of Awareness

What we hope to achieve…

  • Increase public awareness
  • Stimulate discussion & debate
  • Create a public education program for sufferers and their families
  • Long term, the goals include increasing research into the hows, whys and wherefores of this illness, finding better solutions to prevent adhesions at the time of surgery, to have the ability to eliminate them when they are discovered because of other adhesions stimulus – such as infection or trauma.
  • To support Women’s health needs and groups involved in diseases related to ARD such as Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia, Dysmenorrhea (Painful Periods), and Chronic Pelvic pain.

Bombo beach is my favourite place in Australia. It is located on the south coast of New South Wales in a beautiful place called Kiama. I have visited and played there since I was very young, and now share it with my own children. It is where I visit when my pain is out of control. I close my eyes think about the beach and walk along it's shore and rock pools. It gives me the comfort and strength to get passed the pain.
Visualisation is one of my favourite diversions to help me regain control of my pain, and I thought that if I could share it with you, it might help you to find your own special place too. To find out how I do it, look in the "How to Cope" link on the side menu panel.
