Hi,
well i have scoliosis and kyphosis.
we figured that out a year ago in December i think.
so my back a year ago was bent (kyphosis) at 61 degrees,
and it was curved at (scoliosis) at 9 degrees.
I got the brace on January,11 2009.
no one could figure out what was wrong with me for 6 months.
it was horrible . i was in so much pain.i mean my SPINE was bending so you can imagine what that feels like.well actually you cant if you never had it.
during those 6 months i lost 50 pounds.( i was 200 now im 145)
i didnt do any thing AT ALL. mainly i NEVER went out of the hous unless it was for a doctor or something like that . and i spent all my time in pain and in bed.so after we got the first brace i lost some more pounds(when we got it i was 169,i lost 20 lbs)and it was too big and it was like i never even got the brace.so we had to get another one. so this brace that i have on now i had for over 8 months.But(there is always a but for me)
now it got too big because i lost some more weight. so we have to go to the doctor for him to see how im progressing and to order a new brace to be molded and made.i still take a lot of pills but what can you do ?
i dont go to sleep like normal teenagers (im going to be 15 april 9th)i go to bed between 2a.m and 8a.m. yeah i know its bad.and i wake up at like 6 or 8 p.m.
. so im awake now and i felt like writing. im going to go read now and watch tv.
Love,
Zrinka
