Now I have to use self cath, I haven’t started yet, and it’s already freaking me out. I just hope that via self cath I will be able to flush out the bacteria and just live normal life. Now I have UTI every time I have sex and it’s terrible. I have MS btw

    My wife, who is going on 62 was recently diagnosed with a Syrinx and I am surfing the web looking for info. We think it’s trauma related, but she has to get a MRI with contrast next to get more detail. She does have a history of Scoliosis which seems to be related and could make this a genetic vs traumatic Syrinx. Still trying to figure this out and what the path ahead will be.

    Great video with an excellent explanation of the physiology of thermoregulation. With my background in biology and Registered Massage Therapy studies, I had the knowledge of how the process worked for able-bodied individuals, but not specifically at different levels with an SCI. This was enlightening. 😁 Interestingly, as a C5/6 quadriplegic, I also run a RUclips channel. Last week, I posted a video on managing body temperature in summer to avoid overheating. I'll include your video in my resources so others can understand the science behind it. Here's the link to my video if anyone wants to check it out; I believe it complements this thermoregulation video for those with an SCI. Enjoy! ☺️ ruclips.net/video/KLsJAJHGp3w/видео.htmlsi=H022iGTgBIn4jP1O

    How was it having kids? Could you feel them kicking? Did you have to have a C section? if so how was the recovery after it? How was it having newborns and toddlers while in a wheelchair? Ok another note, im from Australia and all new house builds (at least in my area) now are required to be built wheelchair accessible. No large steps into doors, wider doorways, no steps into showers, no large shower trays etc etc. They are doing this because the government will pay to modify houses for people in a wheelchair to help them. If they make all new builds accessible it will save them money eventually if the majority of houses must have that. It has been law here for a while that commercial properties must be accessible. When we built my industrial workshop we had to have full accessible areas and our bathroom had to have handrails, had to have a shower and fold down shower table/chair. We couldnt get it passed until it was all done

    Share your embarrassing moment!! My most embarrassing moment would have been hilarious if it wasn't me. When our daughter was 5, she had tons of very curly hair For a school show, she asked that I blow it out straight, which looked gorgeous. When she got on stage, standing at the microphone, her teacher said how pretty her straight hair looks. My daughter leaned into the microphone proudly, saying "My mom does the best bl*wjob". The entire school looked at me at once, so I froze and started screaming at the top of my lungs "Blow DRY, blow DRY" to everyone, making myself look like a crazy person, not helping the situation. She is now in her 20s and still grounded.

      I may or may not have a right to say anything. I am still pretty new to being in a wheelchair myself. I had the same feeling when I first went out in public. I was ashamed of myself. But I went and got some mental help to deal with how my life had changed and to keep me from being so angry about it. That helped me move on, but I still run into unexpected things. It would help if you let people back into your life. trust me on this.
