Re: Update on us

Hi Christina:

Please be good to yourself. Know your limitations and when to say NO.

Stay in touch with UBPN and share with all of us your frustrations and questions. Try to keep a positive attitude and laugh (it does the body good).

Re: Paralysed hand able to move again

Interesting. However, why is an implant needed? Can one not exercise the affected limb? Sometimes, as humans, we forget that plain old hard work is still an option with BPI. Please do not get me wrong. I am for technology, and new methods of preventing BPI. Bottom line is that medical personnel need...

Re: Anyone is southwest virgina or upper east tenn?

Hi Angelar1021: I do not live in the mentioned area. However, I was born with ROBPI. My right forearm was rotated for use.

Re: Dealing with new onset numbess

Hi DJSpringfield52 I agree with Jennifer P. on this issue. Moreover, finding an O.T. and P.T. for exercises may help with the apathy. Stay positive with your BPI. Use the forums!

Re: Lyrica not working anymore.

Hi! I have the same issues with Lyrica. The med worked for a couple months, then, stopped. Also, I suffer from depression, and possibly bi-polar. I need to see a psychiatrist the end of May 2014 for possible new medications. I continue to do physical therapy on my BPI arm. I'm in pain, however, I ha...

Re: How are you feeling today?

Hi Jen:

Possible solution for people hitting your BPI arm. Try getting a seat with your non-BPI arm towards the aisle.

Happy Flying.

Re: Lyrica not working anymore.

I had issues using Lyrica. So, now, I see the pain clinic. I will try Accupuncture and others forms of pain management.
