Post You do not have to be isolated in your situation Bbryan. There is also software you can get for your PC to help with things your hands cannot do. You may want to look into that. Hard to advise as it depends on what you need for your needed.

•just some thoughts
bbryan2007/26/2010
hey everybody.

I was just wondering... do any of you have complete lack of use in your arms? I have muscular dystrophy, and since I was 17 (I'm now 29) I started losing the ability to use my hands. I'm now at the point where I can just barely use my trackball on the computer, and that's all.

This gets really frustrating to me, and it has really made me become somewhat antisocial. I have always been shy, but now I just don't feel like doing anything usually. Once in a while I will, but most of the time I spend on my computer.

I was wondering if anybody else is going through this? If so... is there somehow to make myself feel a bit better, so that I can go out more without feeling so... out of place? I'd really like to meet people and have a somewhat normal life, but I'm kind of holding myself back... and I don't know how to let go of these feelings and thoughts I have about myself... thoughts of me being... well, not the most fun person to be around. I do have a good sense of humor, I am very smart, and the friends I have all love me. It's just trying to meet new people is proving to be a problem.

I hope this makes sense, I feel like I'm kind of babbling. If anybody wants to talk, please feel free. If I'm not available, send me a message.

Thanks,
BuD

PS
I type using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, so if any of this came out wrong, sorry about that :-).

•I went thru a Center for Independent Living

It might go through another name close to you, but the principle is the same. We had social groups, advocacy groups and had a blast! It might sound weird, but even try a hotline to get info for special information. Like a hotline for suicide or something. It has more uses than the one stated. Good luck and be happy! God Bless!!!

•not a computer problem
bbryan2007/29/2010
I'm able to use my computer pretty well, it's just real life things that I can't do very well.

•Society is not setup for the disabled
Stephen6607/30/2010
The problem is that it can cater to general disabilities, but people forget there are many types, many disabled people, many needs.
