What's your disability?

I have fibromyalgia. Right now I am going through a flare. I am not sleeping well, I am exhausted and my body aches. My ears are ALWAYS ringing and I have to watch foods I eat because of IBS. However, stress and weather affect all these factors. The weather changes recently are probably playing a major role in my crappy feeling right now, and I am not without my share of stress. I try to pace myself, rest when I can, and stay within my limitations. No one can see my illness and people forget that I am ill so I don't get much help. I wish you and your family the best.

I have asthma, Coronary heart disease having had a heart attack in Feb.of 2001, cervical spondylosis and I need both knee replacements and battle a serious weight problem. I am obviously very limited as to how much exercise I can get because of my back and knees so I make a concious effort to do as much as I possibly can on my better days. I fight pain every day but I'm doing my best to not admitt that and I just keep going the best I can. I had a reasonably good day today so I went to the restaurant and I volunteered to peel some potatoes. I do this every now and again and they really appreciate that and I feel good that I have helped someone. I did approx. 80 pounds today.

I have a cerebral palsy, use an electric wheelchair, and have a speech impairment. I write everyday snd earn money by it via 4 to 5 websites.

You have just reminded me of how lucky I am. I'm sorry to hear about your disability, and admire you for the way you face life. I really look up to people like you, and the posts you have made on myLot tell me a lot about your character, but nothing about your health. Please keep the quality posts coming scribler.

I have fibromylagia & I ruined my feet about 15 yrs ago. On top of those, I have serious food allergies that restrict what I can eat. The fibro causes me to have a lot of pain in my body. 15 yrs ago, I crushed my heels and my archs collapsed. I've never been able to walk pain free since that time. Pain isn't something you can see, but I'm pretty sure that people don't think i'm faking when I get out of the car & go limping into a store.

there is all different disablities i have an intuell disablity that is i have a learning disablity it takes me awhile to learn

I have chronic pulmonary heart disease, disk compressions and herniated disks, knees are shot, arthritis, asthma, PTSD and understandably depression. I accumulated injuries as life as progressed. I was in 3 bad car wrecks as the passenger and I was attacked and stabbed in the heart by a serial killer/rapist when I was out celebrating the 4th of July. Anyway, finally in 1998 I applied for disability and guess what am still on appeal .. My attorney just won a case against the state where I was denied saying they were wrong in denying me so that case is still open I have a hearing next month in the state where I live now. needless to say I haven't worked and it's been tough holding it together.

I have to wear glasses or I can't really see things at a certain distance from me. My brother is blind, my mother has all kinds of problems with her, mostly from getting older and from working at Ford.

I'm 45 yrs. old and have had cerebralpalsy since birth, but i don't let it get me down. My mom used to tell me when i was little, when i'd fall down, to get up dust myself off and start all over agian. So that's what i've done. Now i'm 45 been married 23 yrs. I have 2 beautiful daughters and 3 wonderful precious grandchildren. Sure i have my bad days, but i just keep in the back of my mind what my mother used to tell me, take a deep breathe and start my day. I consider my self blessed in every way. And if i keep being a strong willed person, i feel that God will bless me even more. To everyone out there who has a disibility please don't give up. The doctors said that i would never walk, i started walking when i was 3 and have'nt stopped, sometimes i feel like it but i just keep going. Like i say smile at someone everyday! You may help them more than you know. If you look out their you'll always find someone in worst shape than you are, and i believe that whole heartly. So i just pray for them and count my blessings everyday. Keep in mind we are all one of Gods children and he created the world. So what does that say for his children. There's no end to what we can do if we just believe we can. Never say you can't or let someone tell you, you can't because their wrong, you can do anything you set your mind too BELIEVE !!!!!!
