taking care of my elderly dad makes me want to end my life
This information about lupus was very enlightening. Thank you for sharing!!
Great information!!
Thank you for this video!! It is so important to be a self-advocate when living with SCD, but the physicians treating you must also be willing to listen.
Hopefully they will find a cure soon .
I will never want my worst enemy to have this disease. I have a family member who has it, so I have been dealing with it
I knew a few people with this condition, and they worked too and were very painful experience.
I give God thanks for your courage. Thanks for your website
I’m 32 and I have spina bifida :( I had a feeling something was wrong since I was a kid. Ever since I can remember I was suffering with pain. There was clear signs but for some reason didn’t get diagnosis until I was 32. It’s hard to stand walk or sit. I have like a very deep hole or dimple in my back. My feet are deformed they go inwards. I couldn’t walk normally since baby it took me a long time to walk compared to my siblings so my mom assumed I was slow. I had countless issues. I had to wear diapers because I was unable to hold things in. As an adult it is embarrassing I have to wear diapers sometimes too. I’m in severe pain and slowly getting the help I need as an adult. I was turned down for help many times by drs saying I was fine and the pain I feel is from anxiety and I said no I feel something is wrong! I can’t stand kneel bend or walk normally. Something is terribly wrong I feel pain in my spine. Until one day I demanded an MRI I got it and they said I had spina bifida with spondylosis and other stuff
Sometimes, people can't stand on their feet, but I don't know that could be some of reasons great information.
These are good questions to ask when you are inviting a caregiver into your home
My name is Gideon, I have a limb girdle, muscular dystrophy, I am looking for the oldest person to have a muscle dystrophy.
