Topic : Physically Challenged Adults Support

 Thank you Kim  for getting back to me.  I am just sorry that I have not got back to you.  I just don't check this often enough. 

 

I am generally too tired or just don't think to get back to the Dr. Phil website.  Yes, I do agree with you that some elderly are the worst and judgemental.  Well, I have come the cruel judgemental types.  The ones you wonder what gives them that license to give their unasked opinion. 

 

 I am so inclined to say to them, well your elderly and slowing down and not as spry as you used to be. So, your judgements should mean what to me?

 

If people just think about what theysay  before opening their mouths and inserting foot.  There will be more harmony in the world, less misunderstandings to contend with.  Some people are just never happy or content with what is. 

 

If, I could erase this illness I would.  I didn't ask for this illness. Nobody does ask for a bum deck of cards. We just deal with what was dealt to us and cope with it.

 

I have learned to deal with judgemental people. I don't. 

 

 I just know that what I have  ,they could not possibly handle it.  This is my revenge on them.  I just tell them to walk a mile or a few steps in my shoes and see how easy it is for them? . 

 

Also, put some heavy wieghts strapped around your ankles and try walking with them and they wil surely see that they don't move so quickly.  I do not wear heavy wieghts on my ankles. but at times it sure feels like I do.

 

Their judgements and coments  are crude and have no merit and are unjustisfied  so  superficial.  We know that the world is full of these types of people.    I know I am not perfect or even close.  Their life being so perfect must be so  incredibily boring. 

 

I hope to hear from you soon.  You can contact me at  emullane2@roadrunner.com

Hi guys,

First of all, I am a HUGE Dr.Phil fan! Never missed any of his shows. Read his books! I think he is the best. After I watch his shows he always gives me an encouragement in my every day life! You go, Dr.Phil!

 

I was born with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone desease) and was wondering if anyone else on this message board has the same condition. If you do, just post a note and tell me about yourself and how you cope with it, whats your biggest challange etc.

 

Thank you,

 

 I am here to give and get support.  I have spastic cerebral palsy, arthritis and chronic pain.  Lately I have started a weight bearing exercise program for myself which I am very proud of doing.  It does not take the pain away but now the muscles hurt from exercise instead of non-use.  I also take prescription medication for pain and have found a combination that takes the edge off and still allows me to function.  I am very open to giving and getting support in the areas of chronic pain, arthritis, exercise, cerebral palsy, social interaction and self and body esteem.
thank-you

Hello all, (very few) but that's okay,

 

I have had Fibro or have been diagnosed since 1997 and I have sympathy

for all who suffer from it. It's so very hard to get people to understand the

person with the condition. However, my husband has been wonderful (thank God)

Also have had 4 back surgeries so it's so very hard to know if it's the old back

or the fibro acting up. I think everyone is somewhat depressed because of

the pain it goes hand-in-hand. The only thing that we can do is find a good

dr. and continue on as best we can. Look around there are so many people

even children who are so much more ill. I love life although it's difficult at times,

I pray a lot. Loved talking to you ladies and thanks so much for listening to my

complaining.

 

Fibro friend and listerner also.

 

This is about my adult son...

I need help with a situation. I have a 36 year old son..He is very kind, has a big heart, lives on his own and is always willing to help anyone in need. The problem is, he is on disability because he is slow in his thinking. As a baby he was diagnosed with something called Renal Tubular Acidosis ( which has something to do with his kidneys) and I was told that he would develop slower mentally than a normal child. Physically, he is fine. He is not retarded as he likes sports and he even does very well at golf. His thinking though, is not what it should be. He is a very caring person. He has had a few aquaintances (female) but nothing serious. . I think most just lead him on for the fun of it. I worry someone might try to take advantage of him because he is very naiive and gullible My concern is this......He is very lonely...He texts me at times saying he wishes he could find someone to love him for him...He tells me he is lonely. I am sure there is someone out there right for him...Maybe someone with a similiar disability. These days, you can't find anyone in the bars...His is not into drinking or drugs. If there is someone out there who is in a similair situation, or knows of someone, I would like to know about them. Or if anyone has any ideas on where he can go to meet someone. It breaks my heart to think that he might always be alone..with no companionship or no one to love. He deserves more...Please help if you can.
