Oh, honey, no you are not the only one!!!
I haven't posted about my disabilities before because I am so self-conscious about them and I hate so much, but if it helps others I guess I will.

I have cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus. I can walk for very short distances with crutches, for longer distances I use a manual wheelchair.
I have a severe startle reflex (which I assume is due to lack of oxygen to the brain at birth)... I was born was born 14 weeks early,
weighed only 1.5 pounds and was only 12 inches long. I was a miracle baby!!!
Although sometimes I wish I would have died!!!
Thanks for this!
