What is Spinal Bifida
What is Spinal Bifida
Spina bifida is a birth defect where the spine and spinal cord don't close properly during early pregnancy. Unfortunately,this problem can lead to varying degrees of nerve damage, with severe forms causing fluid-filled sacs to protrude. Thankfully there is treatment that focuses on managing lifelong complications with surgery (often right after birth) to close the defect, Some examples include physical therapy for mobility, braces, wheelchairs,crutches, and walkers as well management of bladder and bowel issues through catheters. .

I am new to this. I was born with #SpinaBifida and I've been diagnosed with #Depression and #Anxiety as well. I'm hoping to connect with others for peer support and hope to help others along the way.

What’s your oldest diagnosis?
The majority of our Mighty community has been diagnosed with 3+ health conditions, and many of us have lived with those conditions for over five years. We’re curious what your oldest diagnosis was? If you’re comfortable sharing, how old were you at the time?
Here is a diagnosis roundup from Mighty staff: bilateral vestibular loss, spina bifida, OCD, ADHD, and thyroid cancer.
✏️ P.S. Answer with the first formal label you received vs. when you started experiencing symptoms (that’s a whole other post for another day!).
