Re: Terrified!!!

<t>I learned driving when I was 25, just when I had a job and I could afford an adapted car. To me, it's impossible to change gear (my right arm does not do some of the movements) so I had to buy a car with:<br/> automatic gear, teledispositive for turning lights, lights, washing glass and so on jus...

Re: Questions # 1 Topic is Pain

<t>How many have always had pain? <br/> Never had pain! Just some annoying "electrical" shocks under skin, it happens in average every two weeks, it lasts for 4 - 8 hours.<br/> <br/> Did you ever tell your parents/family you were in pain or did you just accept it as your normal?<br/> I told them abo...

Re: Can the Older OBPI's please answer this

<t>I am 32, severe ROBPI, never had surgeries at the nerves, but just when I was 10, to rotate the arm.<br/> I could not say about pain. I don't feel pain, neither in the past.

I want to thank every single person who posted into this topic until now: it gave me a lot of energy, and it also lovely hits the people who look at me as an alien when I ask for trying new things!

Re: BPI Sporting Club

<t>Well, this thing about the balance-while-running it's really strange: so, it depends on what?<br/> <br/> Anyway, I am italian (I live in Rome), and I am trying to practice some new sport, in addition to those I wrote down at the beginning of the topic.<br/> But: my right arm does not raise at all...
