I have extreme social anxiety, an extreme speech impairment (which causes me to be bullied and pushed around a lot), and I have POTS.
@BabyHedgehog0520
heya what speech impairment do you have? I stutter and it caused a lot of childhood suffering because I didnt know how to cope.. actually I still struggle quite a bit but Im working on finding acceptance. People still bully me at times as an adult just in a different way... I realize I can only control how I react to other people and cannot control them but its so dang hard.
@pinkWriter8847 I stutter too. It is super annoying because people seem to really really really get enjoyment from mocking me. And it is so embarrassing sometimes.
I have scoliosis (have had rod placement surgery and then removal surgery due to osteomyelitis), due to scoliosis I also have a leg descrepancy, rib hump and skapular diskenesis. I have spinal osteo arthritis, postural orthostatic tachycardia, idiopathic hypersomnia, gastroparesis, pcos, adenomyosis, seborrheic dermatitis (I'm losing my hair at the moment), polymorphic light eruption and oral allergy syndrome. I have battled MRSA, staph and corynebacterium infections. I'm allergic to a few antibiotics and pain meds. Also allergic to stitches, all animals and grass, pollen, hay, dust, dust mites and mold. I have anxiety, depression and PTSD. With a lot of work, I've shifted my mindset and managed to not let all of this overpower my life. I now focus on yoga and natural supplements and eat as healthy as I can. 😊
I have relapsing polychondritis, but with that, or because of that, I have Eustachian tube dysfunction, Tachy-Brady Syndrome, Afib, Diverticulitis, Vestibular dysfunction...probably more lol
I have a spinal cord injury (SCI)
Its a complete injury/ASIA A which means no messages to/from the brain can get past it, it's a C5, C6 and C7 injury which are the cervical vertabrae 5, 6 and 7 down in the neck.
I pretty much can only move/feel bits of my arms (basically nothing in my hands or triceps) and my head/neck.
I use a power chair for getting around usually when out but I have a manual I use at home and sometimes at school.
I also have a caretaker/aide to help me do things such as get in/out of bed and get dressed.
@astralie Hi, it's nice to meet you. It sounds like you have a lot to deal with. It's great that you are attending school in power chair or regular wheelchair. How are things going for you at school?
I have hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome, gastroparesis, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
@adventurousBranch3786 It's going good mostly. Currently have a lot of math work to do which is hard when you can only type but that's fine.
I have a lot of projects to do as well but I've been working on them.
@astralie Best of luck to you in your studies (especially math). I hope to see you here at disability community.
@adventurousBranch3786
Thanks, I'll try be active but it can be quite tiring with my arms
@astralie That's okay too. I understand.
