The things mothers say...

[Pan]

Or, in this case, don't say.

I just found out, in the last week, that I have 2 things wrong with me.

1) fibroid tumors in the uterus. They're benign, and all they do is give horrendous cramps and things like that.

2) Ataxia. It's a very mild form of cerebral palsy. Soemtimes, I can't control my muscles, but I have perfect hand-eye co-ordination and my speech is fine, though I do have a funny gait.

Ataxia (http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/nord674.asp?lastselectedguid={5FE84E90-BC77-4056-A91C-9531713CA348})

Why couldn't she have told me -sooner-? :wah:

[Fairywolf]

:hugz: She knew and still didn't tell you? You are just finding out? How long have you had it and how long did she know?

[Pan]

I'm just finding out.

She's known since I was a baby. She was all upset because the doctors weren't going to tell her. And then she doesn't tell me. :lol:

I'm just glad that some things are finally explained. Like why doctors before told me I had a strange walk.

Maybe she did not want you to be "labeled".

I am sorry to hear that you have these problems but I can relate..I have a brother who is 19 currently .. I found out about him when I was 16 by my mother telling a friend of mine and not me.. neither of my parents told me about him.. I am currently 23 and I just finally got a picture of him even though I still have yet to talk to him.

[Pan]

Labelled or not, I'd like to have known! haha. :lol:

I don't mind having ataxia. It's not like it'll kill me unless I twitch too hard.

The sins of our mothers. :\

I'm sorry, Kel. Mothers seem to have lots of weird reasoning behind the things they do that seem right on a basic level to them. Unfortunately, it results in stuff like this.

How can you not tell your child that they have a problem.. the sooner you seek help the sooner you get better..even if it doesn't ever go away. Im sure your mother had her reasons..but u deserved to know! :yikes:
