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 just found out that my 5 year old son has asperger's disease. My family and I need to find a local support group that we can come to learn how to deal with it. I love my son and I am willing to do anything to help him.

Love tweety 3
