Hey Kath. Can you believe it, 2 posts in less than 6 months. I think I'm really startin' to break outta my shell. SL

<t>I think that is very important for people like us, that were not diagnosed until late in life, let the newer folks know that is easy to live with this injury. I firmly believe the lack of information made us stronger, for lack of a better way to put it.<br/> By the way, I'm 39 y.o. LOBPI.<br/> We...

<t>Yeah...I think I'm emotionally frigged-up, but not necessarily in a bad way. What I mean is, I'm O.K. and everything. I don't have a "twitch", ya' know what I'm sayin'. I do have an extremely bad temper, but it took years of therapy to get me to understand that. For years I'm sure people just tho...

<t>Yeah, everything that Sharon says is right on target. If it weren't for breaking my back when I was 25, I would never have known what I had, I just lived my life.<br/> I'm a 39 y.o.

Sometimes to things you'd never thought of yet....

<t>I didn't experience any pain until I hit puberty. The pain itself is sorta hard to describe, it's like arthritis or bursitis but with no specific bone or joint to pin-point. as I've said for a few years on this message board, I'm LOBPI but to make things a little more complicated, I'm numb from m...

<t>I read alot of messages and I see a common theme. As if learning to live with this injury for years without answers or help for that matter, we have to learn to tolerate "Pain". Pain in the affected arm or pain in the un-affected arm due to overuse. Pain from the inconsideration and simple cold h...

<t> Hi, I'm speaking for my father, who is LOBPI and is 39 years old. He always participated in sports. Today he even coaches football and baseball. He taught me how to play softball very well, and he has helped my brother become an awesome catcher. I personally think that if your son wants to parti...
