My heart goes out to you. I find it hard to imagine being in your situation. Are there care facilities available for you?
Growing up, at what age did you understand or had been told you have not something wrong with you but that you have special muscles unlike the other kids? (Thats what we call connors condition, to help his older 8 yr old brother understand) connor is type 1 and is currently 7 months old. Recvd zolgemsa on halloween.

How do you earn money without loosing critical disability benefits and Medicare ? So, in many ways, I am very lucky. When I started needing attendant care, I did the math and there was no way I could earn enough money, keep working, and pay for attendant care. The programs in my state that cover attendant care very strictly require an individual have less than $2,000 in assets total (including such things as gold teeth, burial plots, etc) and not be employed. If not for my father's support… read more
Am having very conflicted feelings as I know I may never meet someone again who was interested in me in this way...but am not really sure can physically, emotionally and financially fullfill this person's visions for a future. I don't want to break up as care for this person...but don't think i could really fullfill her wishes.
I've struggled with this my whole life and continue to do so...I subconsciously sabotage every close relationship for fear of not being able to provide what that person deserves. I never thought it… read more
For those of you that are single...What do you do to get sexual relief? I know it's a bit of a personal question, but as I get weaker and lose the use of my hands, I'm struggling to get this taken care
This is a very real issue
I am interested to find out what everyone does regarding having their fingernails clipped. I struggle with this because I need help doing them, and it's hard for someone to do them. I often end up with cuts on my fingers, and I do not like getting them cut. I always have long fingernails because of this, LOL. Any good best practices that anyone has come up with? I can't stand this. Did I mention that?!
Have you considered having them use one of those electric jobbies that basically files them down? Less risk of injury.
I am 40+ years old, have held jobs, am reasonably intelligent, but I still look like a teenager aside from a few grey hairs. My dad is 83, a little hard of hearing. My attendant, the only reliable attendant I can find in the entire state, is nearly the same age, is physically in much better shape, but is even harder of hearing. So I was dealing with my father who gets very grouchie when he hasnt eaten trying to help him with cooking which he doesnt know how to do and caregiver of course walks… read more
Totally understand how that goes with unreliable care attendants, one's that you really don't want to be alone with or need to be either, or one's that actually really show up early or on time every… read more
