Marisette,
Please note that the second opinion dissed ADR, because his/her personal opinion of it was not high; not because you were contra-indicated for it. There is a BIG difference. If you are contra-indicated for ADR I would strongly urge you to heed that contra-indication. But if not, I hope that you won't let this deter you from pursuing ADR, as it has been clinically shown to be a superior treatment for the right patients.
And of course no one can tell you that an ADR will last forever; considering the first one was done only 25 or so years ago.
Good luck, Jeff
