gain as much info about SCI research projects, enroll my son as a research subject ; learn helpful info from others with SCI so I can help my son live a long, happy life
|
[email protected]
|
I joined this group specifically to gain and share info from experiences in the life of a person with SCI. I'm Kyle's caretaker and want to be as effective as I can. Any words of wisdom, advice or encouragement will be appreciated. Although my son is only 1 year post-injury, I've learned so much since he's been home. Specifically, I know quite a bit about wound care and the importance of good nutrition. I'm interested in any and all on-going SCI research, devices that could improve Kyle's upper body strength and/or stimulate the muscles he's not able to use, and any "coping" advice that would help Kyle and the rest of our family. Thank you.

Hello everyone. I am 49 years old, a twin , the mother of two grown children. I have a neurological movement disorder called torsion dystonia. I also have an implanted pump which helps greatly with my continual muscle spasms and chronic pain. I was assulted by a "Monster" of a man which is why I have torsion dystonia. Rape sometimes ends in serious ways. I am generally very happy and involved as much as I can be in LIFE. I hope to meet you all soon. Chris

I am a person who always looks for the positive in everything and this has been my salvation since being diagnosed with Scleroderma. It is a very lonely disease as it affects so few of us, our disabilities are mostly invisible. Pain, internal problems, and chronic fatigue are not visible to others unless they know you, this can be a blessing but can also cause large problems. I have my own web site if anyone would like to learn more. http://communities.msn.com/SclerodermaYou
