I am a married middle aged woman with Spina Bifida. I've been through alot. Being a teenager was tough due to dating issues. I walked with braces & crutches & had a unique urinary system which was hard to explain to potential boyfriends. I did end up getting married to a man with slight cerebral palsy, which is tough in itself. Four years ago I lost both my legs below the knee due to poor circulation due to the Spina Bifida. This past November I had to start kidney dialysis which I've been told is a problem found often in a person with Spina Bifida--lucky me!! I will certainly do the dialysis until I get a transplant because I don't want to die but the dialysis is certainly the hardest thing I've had to go through.
Welcome to Disaboom! Good luck continuing on with the dialysis...
