Re: Help! Please!
<t>Hi Bill<br/> <br/> I was involved in a car accident 5 years ago, and I too had no feeling in my right arm [my injury is C1-T6], and the docs were clueless - I was also told I had stretched or pulled the nerves or maybe the sheaths, couldn't be certain - was told full recovery, but have 65-70% use...

Re: Need this poem asap
<t>Hi there<br/> <br/> The posts after Leeann posted her question, whereby people use capitals to express their opinions is interpreted as if you would either strongly emphasise those words or say them with an angry undertone to them. That came through very clearly in the posts to Leeann. She asked ...

Re: Need this poem asap
<t>Hi I need to put my 2 cents worth in here. I personally loved the poem. I am not a mother of a child with this injury I am an adult with a right TBPI, & I feel that the poem is saying that whatever our hopes or dreams may be for whatever in life, that the outcome we expected may not always be...

Re: How long does pain last?
<t>Hi Zoe<br/> <br/> Sorry to hear about your accident. As the others said, the pain varies for everyone. I found it quite excruciating for the first year, but then my docs here don't seem to know what a tbpi is, so when i got tired of all the thumb guessing, I decided to do my own thing. The strong...

Re: Trouble sleeping
<t>Hi Andrew, I have a right TBI and must say that I agree with the pillow - I position a pillow under the TBI arm so that I ma lying on my side, but it prevents me from rolling onto the TBI arm. I have found that I have a softish pillow to lie on, but it must be tucked under the back of your neck, ...

Re: Hi my name is Alison
<t>Hi there, sorry to hear about your brother's accident. I didn't have any nerves pulled out, just damaged, but where the docs don't know. In fact this injury is a dark area in south africa. I have 60% use of my right arm, but sometimes I go through phases of only 20% use. I have found the support ...

Re: Reiki?
<t>Hi Allison, Alison here. I have had a few sessions of reiki. It is very soothing and relaxing. The therapist doesn't actually touch you, but hovers above areas, and they draw on the energy of the universe. It is quite weird & I was sceptical, but my reiki therapist started at my wrist and whe...

Re: sizzling/stinging still use
<t>Hi Lucille<br/> I have a right tbpi from a mva accident 5 years ago, & I have about 60% use of my arm. I can relate to the sizzling stinging sensation you refer to, as I seem to live with it on adaily basis - some days are worse than others - could be the way I slept, the way I sit in fact so...
