Re: cheerleader

I love posts like these. They are so much fun to answer and I love reading everyone's opinions and ideas. My take on the hairstyling question: I have always had a love-hate relationship with my hair. When I was a child my mom kept my hair short. She says this was because the wear was hot, but then I...

Re: Coping with Palsy as a teen

I use a foam roller and a tennis ball. I find that most of my pain comes from my muscles being tense. Using the foam roller helps to loosen the muscles up. The tennis ball is a more intense version of the foam roller, I get most of my pain/tension under my scapula (shoulder blade). I put the tennis ...

Re: Unusual sensations

I get that too. It's your sternum popping. I have OBPI, and when I was born they broke my collarbone to help deliver me. The collarbone is connected to the sternum, and I think that is why my sternum makes the occasional "pop" today. If it's just a pop sound, like when people crack their k...

Re: Coping with Palsy as a teen

What has helped me was finding something that I could do that my arm was also good at. I struggled so much when I was in high school and college because I felt I couldn't do the things I wanted to.

Re: Awareness Items for Sale

Oh! I didn't know this stuff was actually available online. The links aren't very clear on the menu because there is a sub-menu for amazon/cafepress under it.
