JaAnna from OK, mother of Stephanie, age 8 and a half, BPI since birth. I just love this site. For 8 years, I have thought I was all alone. I just found out yesterday exactly what was wrong with her. For eight and a half years, I have blamed myself hated myself for what I did to my daughter. This site has really helped. I have shed so many tears for my beautiful daughter, some for the pain that she is in, but also for the anger that I feel. Thank you to all.

Hi all;

Just to let you know that there is now a website for adults with a TBPI and a support group started in January here in the U.K although we have members from all over, and everyone is very welcome. The URL for the site is http://www.tbpi-group.org

...it is still very much a work in progress, but there are some positive images and stories up there plus a very good article on central pain with a BPI. There will be many more articles and pictures added as time goes by...

ps; Hope you don't mind this blatant advert Nancy...! I know you did mention you would link UBPN to us at the next re-organisation of the links..... ;0)
