Re: Loss of friends after disability

My entire family determined that I must be faking it, so have not spoken to me for over 22 years.  They live on one continent,  I live on another, so they are gone to me,  I am gone to them.  People prefer not be friends with a man who twitches, drools and  can't speak properly, so  I have none, exc...

Re: Regarding Mike3161

it is crazy how opinions of what was said that are not supported by the transcript. Sorry you had to deal with this problem tigger, but anyone that has an issue with it all is probably part of the problem
You do an amazing job administering the chat room.

Apparently I have suffered from multiple minor strokes during my life disability that result in the progression of my disorder. Today I learn if such happened to bring on this latest bounce.  This is possibly the worst of all so far away it has left me immobile with no control of much left. If this ...

the most useful helper I have

I have eight of these around the house, in my van and use them all of the time. They help me move my feet, lift things, help transferring, push things, make getting my footwear on easy, and a thousand other things.

Re: At last, what I am

In the last 21 years, I have had eight doctors make different diagnoses of what they should call my disability. The current insurance demanded diagnosis is in full accord with the hitherto unseen notes from my first neurologist, in 1994. The other seven doctors added bits, and subtracted bits, to fi...
