Re: Bra Staps (again!)

<t> If you go to the company's web site, click on the Contact Us link, then click on "Where To Buy."<br/> There are several stores listed, and I'm sure someone must ship over seas. I've bought items for my children on UK web sites, so hopefully you can do the same.<br/> <br/> I am writing this from ...

Re: Bra Staps (again!)

<t>They are truly wonderful!<br/> <br/> I had to buy the last pair from the J.C. Penney website because the store didn't have them in stock.<br/> They were on back order on the website, but I waited a few days and they shipped them to me. I didn't notice if you could order them from the manufacturer...

<r>Hello!<br/> <br/> For those of you that are new to this website, I'll introduce myself. I am a 54 year old woman with a left OBPI. <br/> <br/> I've been wearing a product for about a year now that has eliminated my bra strap slippage completely on the OBPI arm. This is thrilling to me, especially...

Re: Does Erb's palsy affect your self esteem?

<t>Hi! I am 53 and left bpi.<br/> I know that this injury has affected my self esteem, I have no doubt. I've also worked with some very lovely, <br/> non-bip young ladies over the past years, several of whom had self image problems that made mine look pale in comparison at their age. <br/> I believe...

Re: I can't believe I found ya'll!!

<t>Hi Deanna!<br/> <br/> I'm 52 years old, and have a left OBPI.<br/> I was also 10 pounds at birth. My mother had gestational diabetes and later adult onset diabetes.<br/> I'm sure this was the reason why I was so large at birth. <br/> As for the OBPI, I can only raise my arm as high as my chest, I...

Re: Winter-never noticed b4

<t>Michelle,<br/> <br/> I like to wear fleece material as much as possible in the winter. Not only does it keep my arm warm, but it's very flexible and lightweight, so it's easier to move a bpi injured arm while wearing it.<br/> <br/> I know most of us are sensitive to the feeling of different fabri...

Re: Questions # 1 Topic is Pain

<t>How many have always had pain? <br/> No pain, just electrical shocks throughout my life, very infrequent!<br/> <br/> Did you ever tell your parents/family you were in pain or did you just accept it as your normal?<br/> I mentioned shocks when I was a kid, but didn't take them too seriously as the...
