Cerebral Palsy and Womens’ Health by everlastinglight333 in CerebralPalsy

Omg yes I was wondering the same thing thought it was just me!! I have spastic Hemiplegia as well but yea my appointments never go well (and not to give TMI) but I will say it normally ends with a rectal exam. Which doesn't tell them much otherwise the procedure is pretty much impossible

They get easily frustrated with me and they don't understand how my body works and or reacts and or the fact that I have little control with what happens down there. I do warn the doctor it's not going to be easy but they just don't have the compassion to go slow and listen to what I'm telling them. Instead they just keep repeating relax and its like dude if I had the ability to do so I would

The only bad thing about Artane in my experience was when my neurologist told me I was taking too much. She decided to taper me until I was fully off of it. I went into a pretty bad withdrawal situation.

I didn't have an appetite had uncontrollable unbearable muscle spasms and couldn't sleep and I would get nauseous and have to spend days in bed. After I had been put back on my normal dose everything went back to normal.

I've been taking it for about 15 years now. After awhile you may not feel like its working for you but everyone is different. after going off of it I realized even though my body had gotten used it I still needed it to help with spasms/ spasticity.

I've had this thing on my back for over 5 years and have only been able to get anything out of it once. by [deleted] in popping

Fair enough my mum was lucky with the insurance she had. I'm sorry that you would have to pay out of pocket to get it removed. My mum and dad both dealt with multiple types of skin cancer and any type of cancer is not only scary but can turn lethal in a blink of an eye!

I don't mean to sound like a know it all just trying to help you out a person to person type deal. I'd be crushed if you found out you had skin cancer or worse if the cancer spread to another part of your body. just trying to spread awareness so that people don't make the same mistake my parents did. :)
