Bio:
I am a 49 year old Intersex man with female genital. I am insulin dependent I also have Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS). I can no longer walk I depend on a power chair, as well I am have lost the use of my bladder and 50% of my bowels. I have visual issues as well anything from blurred to eyes that jump. The fatigue that I live with is overwhelming. Sensory issues are as follow; I have a delay in pain, by the time I feel it I could have cut myself or burn myself. To have someone touch me will drive me crazy, my skin feels at time like it is crawling or I have the pins and needle in the hands arms and face.
There are many other things that I face on a daily bases with SPMS some of them I will admit has brought me down to the point I was thinking they would shoot a horse that felt better then this. This past year has been hard for me to deal with however I have never been a quitter. I know that my illness is a progressive one, however I am not ready to stop living and I am now working on creating a new aptitude about life. I am now looking at this life I live as a challenge. I am working on retaking my life back from SPMS.
I am learning that it is okay to ask for help, that I do not have to do this alone. I am also learning that asking for help does not make me a weak person. I also know that I have a lot to give to the world on a whole. I can and will be a productive person again. I may not be able to give and do like I use to but I still have a lot to give? It may take me longer to get a task done, however I have all the time in the world. When those day I can not pick myself I can now push a button and get some help and that it does not make me any less of human being. I am learning to use the adaptive equipment with pride not shame.
I am pulling myself up from what I call the dark hole of MS and I know that I will slide back once in a while; I am now learning the tools needed to get me out faster. I am tying to put together a small business at home sewing and making devise to help others that use power chairs and need cooling devices for the hot weather, and lap blanket that can hold cold packs, as well as items to hide leg and cathedra bags. To design shirt and such with Logo?s on them?
If you feel would like to help me toward being more self reliant you can send a donation to my pay pal account ?Email and I will give the account name?
If there is anything you want to know about anything I have placed here please feel free to email. I will answer any and all questions.

To get more participation points, vote AND comment on every wish every week until your PP counter in your stats area says that each of those areas are full. I'll have to go look again and see what else raises PP's. Its been so long now since I did it!!

Thanks for adding me. Its always good to have new friends.
great wish and video! I have a blog that has resources for people with disabilities among other things. I was wondering if you have any free online resources you might want to add to the list? If so you can find it by typing in Prin's Links into your searchbar and a search engine should find it for you. Leave me a comment on the main blog (for social work students) and I will get together with you from there. Or if you have a blog with them already on there I would be glad to list it on my site :) Thanks.
