Jul 26, 2008 - You're quite brave. My case isn't as bad as yours, but both my aunt and my grandfather have to wear leg braces, my grandfather now uses a walker. I've had corrective foot surgery, but I do yoga, and it seems to help.Keep your head up, and walk strong!

charismaticdan Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Hey I think that's why I get on well with the lads becuz the lady nurses can't even wire the PS3's in! I just spent a fab week with a 19 year old lad with MD and we spent every day playing Gran Turismo 5! I wish that I could take every horrid day, every pain and discomfort from you and go through it myself for you. I really do. I'm not just saying that! That's why I love working where I do because I want with all my heart to make every day count and the best that it can be. Keep going! Dan.
righteousdude93 Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - It's so hard... I'm 32, and luckily I can still walk and drive... I was always sick. At your age, the problem are GIRLS. Please don't laugh because is the easiest way to get away from this problem. Talk about it, don't make my mistakes. You're so courageous, keep fighting. It's too hard. I was alone from 14 to 18, when I was able to made new friends. There are a lot of s**k**s in the world.Sorry about my english. Greetings from Spain.
