How/Why did you get scoliosis?

[ddr]

Tinkerbell,

That would be great if someone famous would speak out about it. Especially for the younger ones. I've heard of famous people having it but haven't heard anyone speak out about it. There should be a bigger awareness.

ps - maybe you could start a separate thread and we could brainstorm about how to do this.

It was my parents' fault!

I've enjoyed reading these posts. Here's my reason:

I was the oldest of 5 kids so I always had to babysit. I would carry the younger children on my hip. And the laundry basket.

If my parents hadn't kept on producing children and laundry I wouldn't have gotten scoliosis!

Another reason might be eating those pretzels... My back doc always said to eat the straight pretzels, but if there were pretzels out at a friends house, and they weren't the straight ones... I would still eat them.

*sigh*

What a fool I was.

I remember those trucks going up and down the streets when I was about 5 or 6 yrs.old.

Um, I mean, whomever y'all are, *y'all* should unite. Responsible child that I was, I would NEVER have done anything of that nature .
