JUST FOUND THIS SITE TODAY. I'M GLAD TO KNOW THEIR IS A PLACE WHERE I CAN GO TO VENT MY FEELINGS ABOUT MY 31 YEAR OLD INJURY. LOST THE USE OF MY ARM IN A CAR ACCIDENT RIGHT AFTER HIGH SCHOOL IN 1978. TAUGHT MYSELF TO DO EVERYTHING USING ONE HAND. CAN TYPE 60 WPM, CHANGE A DIAPER FASTER THAN ANYONE, SO I'VE BEEN TOLD. I TELL EVEYONE I CAN DO MOST ANYTHING EXCEPT JUMP ROPE AND CLAP MY HANDS. NOW I HAVE OVERUSE SYNDROME IN THE GOOD ARM. DOCTORS HAVE WARNED ME TO LIMIT MY ACTIVITIES. HOW DO YOU DO THIS? WHY IS IT WHEN THE WEATHER IS GOING TO CHANGE YOU CAN TELL IT BEFORE IT HAPPENS? I'M TIRED OF ALL THE PAIN. NICE TO READ FROM YOU ALL. I WILL VENT LATER.

I suggest you post on the Traumatic Boards too, as this one is the Birth Injured one. Though you are welcome to post questions on all 
The TBPI boards may be able to give you more help though
