please just stop asking!
To those who cant:
Yes, I have scoliosis.
No, it is not like Osteoporosis.
No, It is not a disease.
Yes, It hurts most of the time.
Yes, it messes up my internal organs.
No, there are no meds to treat it, except pain meds when it hurts too much.
No, there is no known cause for my condition (idopathic Scoliosis)
No, except for the pain all that's suffering is my self steem.
Yes, I need surgery.
and NO, I cant afford it.
anymore questions?
I just hate it when people ask me all the time. Its only scoliosis. Its not like I'm just gonna suddenly drop dead. Some even has this notion that I got scoliosis because i wasn't taking care of myself. Some think I'm some kind of mutant.
The yesterday my dad saw me massaging my lower back and asked me if my back was hurting. He got all panicky that he wanted to take me to the hospital (like that would help!). The other day my brother was examining my back like he's some kind of expert asking me the same questions that my doctor asked me only he makes it seem like it's my fault that i have scoliosis. My family treat me as if having scoliosis is such a burden when i hardly ever notice myself except when it hurts or when I'm trying on a form fitting dress.
