I'm not the one to talk about me being brain damaged. It happened when I was born so it's extra harder on me to even think. I'm just saying thatbecause of experiences I have gone through, I would like to help. In other words, I'm there for you no matter what.

I am interested in the attitudes of the disabled. I am writing about my experiences with Cerebral Palsy--poetry and short stories. My goals: 1.Create an anthology for publication. 2.Research Sociology/Phenomenology of Disability--perception of disability by the disabled--its expression in their writing. 3.Master's in Sociology/Social Work and PhD in Disability Studies. I need academic research and writers who identify as being disabled who are willing to share their experiences and their writing.

I am trying to figure out what my limitations mean as to how they will change my life and how to keep this from happening.
|
[email protected]
|
I am fairly new at living my life with limitations and haven't figured out what this all means to me. Everyhing wasimportant is missing in my life. I lost my independence when I was told I couldn't drive unless I have modifacation made to my car. I haven't been able to get this done so still stranded. I was a truck driver before this and spent my time exploring the country. Now I can't get to the store. I don't have my job anymore either. I was told that I can't go back. I look at job ads and don't know what I can do. If anyone can help me figure out how to get through this and win I would like to here from you. I have so many feelings about this that I don't understand. The doctors said this was as good as it will get and discharged me. I just don't know how to life with with what I have to deal with.

|

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
