Hi everyone:

My name is Pat and I have several things which has brought me here. They are

Cerebral Palsy, Cellulitis (ala Thyroid condition), Diabetes (Type I), Epilepsy

(Though I have yet to understand why there’s no forum here for that *Hint…Hint

CarePlace Staff :slight_smile: ) & Sleep Apnea (I was pleasantly surprised to see a forum

here for this :slight_smile: ).

I’ve had Cerebral Palsy since birth and I’ve been told I’ve had Epilepsy just as

long, though I’m convinced that came along a few years later into my childhood.

I developed Cellulitis as an adult (Poor weight management, bad BMI, etc),

Diabetes just a couple of years ago (Mainly because of my weight and all the

sugar I’d eaten over the years before) and Sleep Apnea also just a couple of

years ago (Around this time of the year to be exact).

To get around town, I ride a Pride Victory scooter (Though I can and do walk short distances like around the apartment building I live in). Can’t hardly fit the thing on the bus (That’s the frustrating part), but actually I don’t mind it as much as the tradeoff is that I at least have freedom of movement. Basically, this means I can go whichever way I want to in order to get from Point A to Point B.

I see two doctors, one for my Epilepsy (A Neurologist) and the other for the rest of my problems (An Internal Medicine specialist). I see them on a quasi-regular basis.

Finally, I also have a Medical Wonders blog and VideoCast which I hope to merge into one (Currently they are two seperate blogs) and move over to CarePlace (I just LOVE themed places for my blogs :)). I will gladly post the URL when it is set up so everyone can take a look. :slight_smile:

Well anyway…I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself. I look forward to getting to know each & every one of you. :slight_smile:

Cheers :smiley:

Hi,

I am interested in how to help my son with his ADHD which is a co-morbid condition for a lot of CP kids. I also want to learn more about how to help me son with his CP. I would like to connect with other parents of children with CP and ADHD maybe even form a local support group.

Thanks for your time,

Scoot
