Coping with Palsy as a teen

[Becka]

Have you all got the feeling where u just want to saw Ur arm off cause of the pain and that it s useless for one thing? i hate that when that happens.

anyone who knows me knows that when i say i need a hacksaw, i am feeling a lot of pain in my arm/hand. i dont know which is the worse. the pain or the crazy sensations that when you try to explain them, people think you are contradicting yourself. "i have no feeling, but it hurts to touch it" that does not make any sense to me either. but that is just the way it is. lots of things have no explanation......

Tried out for the basketball team in high school, but could not dribble with left hand. Was cut on the first tryout and was crushed. I was always the last to be picked in gym class. The name calling, ugh. Things got better in adult life and lots of times I would forget about my handicap until someone asked. Always would keep hand in pocket and wear long sleave shirts most of the time, even when it was warm.
