Hi! My 8 yr old son was diagnosed as severely imparred at age 3 with Apraxia. Since then he has been given a total of 9 seperate diagnoses. Although apraxia was his first, most devistating dx, we have gotten Travis to a point where no one knows there was ever a problem.
Travis has so many issues that are “layered” over each other, we don’t know which issue to address. I can’t complain though because most children with issues are in worse shape.
I’m happy to see the web site is still here. The origional apraxia chat got me through some of the worst times of my life. The biggest thing I learned from the “chat” was to “educate the people that are worth educating and forget the rest” No matter who I have dealt with in my own family, there is a level of denial that I like to refer to as “LIVING IN EGYPT” (they are living on de Nile). It has taken years for my family to even admit that my son is not like the other kids. I have found a family in the handicapped community and a support that I didn’t have before. The only true understanding you will find is in people who have walked in your shoes.
thank you for inviting me to this special place!!

I am a disabled vietnam vet. I was expose to agent orange while serving in vietnam. I am hispanic, born in this country dont need a green card. Like the song Born in the USA. Serve 20 years in the Military, speak four languages, I am in a wheel chair, unable to use my legs, or walk at all. I have degen. disease, in lower lumbar & cervical spine. & one foot in the grave. hello

I have bipolar, ocd and some social anxiety. I’m hoping to meet people who understand and can offer support, as well as people who I can support too.

I too have DI. plus a number other problems. It would be very interesting to be in contact with others with the same problem('s).

I’m going through another round of treatment for depression and having a very difficult time. Meds aren’t working, and the voice of depression is speaking very loud right now.

I want to learn more about post-operative stuff. I had surgery 3.20.07 and am back at work but dealing with life is hard!

I’ve been living with exercise induced analphylaxis and wnat to talk to others about how they cope.

Hello, my name is suzzanna and I have a problem with depression and I live alone and don’t have many friends that come and see me unless they want something from me. I am in need of people that can discuss this problem with because my so called friends don’t have the time and the effort to discuss my problems with me and when a bout of depression comes on me I can’t call the doctor because he usually isn’t in his office. I would just like to join a chat line that has people there that have the same problem that I have or simalar problems that I can chat with. I know for sure that just talking with someone will help tremendously because I have seen many professional people in my life and have learned that talking to people with the same problems or maybe not the same problem but just being depressed, that it helps just to talk to some one that will listen and in return I will listen to them. So if there is anyone out there that can help me please speak up and I will be there for you also.
Thank You, Suzzanna
