Well, it's Monday again. It sure rolls around timely.
My shoulder woke me up twice last night. I guess it's better than it was. I have to go for a physical therapy evaluation on Thursday. I'm hoping they will send me home with some kind of handout full of exercises.
Gabe, how are you doing?

Someone will be babysitting Molly (greyhound) while my mom is in the hospital and I think a few days after.

Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.
(((((((((Primo)))))))))
So now it's real, it happening...and honestly, I am scared.
Dear Primo, sending love, lots of love to you, remember to breathe and get oxygen into your body, it helps destress your body.... sending virtual hugs and a shoulder to lean on....
Habits are at first cobwebs, then cables.

1st person: wereyagointa? (where are you going to?)
2nd person: mominems. (my parent's house)
1st person: kinIcum? (May I come with you?)

Note: You hop into a pick up, you crawl into a car. What most folks call a truck is a pick up..trucks have 18 wheels. Cars do not have trunks, elephants have trunks, cars have turtle hulls..and cars do not have glove compartments, they have glove boxes...which are often just that..a box with no door. Awl is not a measuremnt of pitch, it is an engine lubricant...tar is not a substance used on roads and roofs, it is a tire...and it is not mounted on a rim, it is mounted on a wheel.

Quick note. My home phone is on the blink. If you call you'll get a disconnected message. NOT! I'm waiting for the repair people to fix the outside line. They better hurry; we have a storm coming in.

Does anyone know what has happened to OHB? i read her post then her small profile @the left. Something bad indeed must have gone on for her to be homeless and saying in herprofile "Leave me be"! Has there been a drastic break-up that i have missed? Concerned mind wishes to know!

Okay...I am new here so I'm not sure how this goes, but I thought I'd post here. I have very mild cerebral palsy that affects my legs. I can walk fine and most people dont notice except that if I get tired, I tend to favor one leg over the other. Been like that forever, and recently been dealing with bi-polar disorder. I never used to be self conscious about my legs before, but lately it's been bothering me a lot. I wish I knew why. I'm starting to think that maybe everything else is starting to affect how I view myself, and I don't like that at all.
My apologies if this is in the wrong place.
Re: Welcome,kakure!
welcome,kakure! no, you are in the right place. this thread is for people dealing w/disabilities of all types. the people who post here tend to be very warm and non-judgemental. if you visit regularly, you'll get to know those who post a lot. (i am one.) i have several autoimmune diseases including MS, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, and migraines. i have problems walking,too. i generally use one forearm cane to help me w/balance and stability. if i am having a bad flare, i use 2 canes or an electric powerchair. so,see,you are not alone! feel free to post about whatever is bothering you. chances are,there is someone feeling the same!
wanshanghao.

@ kakure
remember ,it is not about looking at the capabilities of the individuals but the abilities that make that individual who they are...

"Sweet like candy to my soul, sweet you rock and sweet you roll.."
Just a quick reminder, from page 1:
As a stone femme who has MS and other conditions my life has changed because my level of ability to do things has altered. Things that were once simple have now become more difficult, requiring modifications. Activities that once brought me much pleasure have had to be abandoned or severely curtailed because of my health issues.
The changes on my brain have made me more emotional, more irritable, less patient. I am quick to anger and quick to cry. I forget things easily. Sometimes I have to search for the right word I want when words used to roll off my tongue without conscious thought. I become frustrated easily. It affects me socially as well.
As a result of my health issues my self esteem level is sometimes VERY low. I find myself feeling less than feminine, very un-femme-ly, for lack of a better word. I can't wear high heels any more because my balance is horrible. I sometimes wonder what I have to offer my partner, being that my condition is a chronic lifetime one that will not suddenly get better. It may only stay the same or worsen with time.
I suspect I am not the only one who feels these things. I would like to hear from others who have physical disabilities and feel these things. What is your story? Do you feel less attractive, less "femme/butch/insert your choice of gender term here"? How do you cope? What are your experiences? How do you keep truckin' on?
I would ask a few things:
1) Be respectful at all times. Not everyone here will share your POV and/or politics. That's OK. We are all different.
2) If you cannot be supportive of those who participate, please go elsewhere.
3) Not everyone who may post here will ID the same way. Someone may ID as "lesbian", another as FTM. That's okay. Quibbling about someone's gender ID, etc., is NOT what this thread is being started for. Please keep that kind of stuff out of the thread.
4) Not everyone will feel perky at all times. That is OK too. Judicious ranting about your condition is allowed.
5) This is a place of support, a place where folks can share all kinds of deep things, ask questions, etc. It is hard for some to share, so let's keep it positive and encouraging! If you have a personal issue with someone, handle it in a PM. Do not attack someone in a post to the thread. It will not be tolerated.
I believe in being up front, so:
NO DRAMA. NO FLAMING. PERIOD.
Let's get the ball rolling!
This is a place where people can share where they are, not necessarily where they want to be and not where someone else thinks they should be. Dealing with these kinds of issues is an intensely personal thing. This is a safe place for people to share what they are feeling. Please be respectful or each other and let's keep it that way.
So how's everyone's weekend going? I am getting caught up on PM's and such. Hopefully by tomorrow.![]()

"Sweet like candy to my soul, sweet you rock and sweet you roll.."
Welcome! You are in the right place.
I deal with some of that myself. The MS has made the left side a bit "draggy" and a little numb. Like you, I also deal with bipolar that I take medication for. It has helped tremendously.
There have been times when I have felt like the sum total of all the issues I deal with. I don't think I am the only one on here that way? Can I get a witness? I go through periods when I feel like a walking ball of physical problems and I think it does color my thinking.
Lately, though, I have felt less that way. I will have to ruminate on that and try to figure out why.
Anyway, I haven't had coffee yet and it's time for lunch. Y'all be blessed and I'll check in later.![]()

any other symptoms like burning tongue,neck and arm pain? check your blood pressure and blood sugar count or better yet go to your doctor...
