I'm new here!
Hello, my name is Murat Gurdov.
I was born in 1982 in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. In 2004, I suffered a severe spinal cord injury that left me completely paralyzed from the neck down — quadriplegia. Since then, I have lived bedridden, unable to move my arms or legs.
I live on the 4th floor of an apartment building without an elevator. My daily life is very challenging: I depend completely on my elderly mother and two sisters for all basic care — feeding, washing, dressing, and turning me to prevent bedsores. Because of my health problems, including diabetes and asthma, I need constant attention.
Despite these difficulties, I try to keep my mind active by reading, learning, and communicating through technology as much as possible. I live in a small, modest apartment with limited resources, but I hold on to hope and strength every day.
I want to share my story here to connect with others who understand what it means to live with a disability, and to raise awareness about the challenges many face in similar situations.
Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.

Hi, my name is 901BluesBirdy. My diagnosis includes fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I have joined to connect with others who experience chronic pain in order to obtain advice on how to manage my daily life. I am presently dealing with a flare and am optimistic about the prospect of maintaining my quality of life. However, I am in search of information regarding the availability of mobility aids and resources that can offer me daily support.

Hi, my name is Thelonelycrow. I'm here because I have been struggling with intense loneliness for pretty much all my life, but with the added burden of my health issues and the burnout, everything has become increasingly difficult. As much as I am trying to handle everything by myself, the intense loneliness is driving my crazy, and most often I end up procrastinating & doing nothing (which eventually sabotages a whole lot of things for me), while all I want is just some human interaction.

Sigh... Well I tried.
Well I took a tramadol and a Norco about an hour before we went to the art studio open house. I was so hopeful that I could handle it. Unfortunately after about 10 minutes I needed to sit down. The pain spiked to 8 and I couldn't breathe so I sat down and used my rescue inhaler. We decided to go home after we had been there for about 1 hour. We only got to see one art installment. I felt horrible not being able to see more on the other floors but Pauley said I was doing what was right for my physical health. My right hip is sending sharp stabbing pain down my right leg.
I was hungry when we got home. I tried getting a fancy hot dog from the food truck at the art event but they didn't have any hot dogs. So once we were settled in Pauley asked me what I was hungry for. I decided I just wanted a corn tortilla with melted queso quesadilla cheese. I ripped it into pieces and dipped in some avocado ranch sauce. Wow it was delicious!
I got a lot of compliments on my shirt. I wore the one with the newspaper clippings about the JFK assassination.
I need to get a few pairs of board shorts.
