Re: Depression

And by the time your kids are old enough to manifest this disease, it will probably be easily treatable. Maybe even by some type of gene therapy. I remember when my dad was diagnosed with this - in the mid 1970's - and he declined to have any surgery because he thought it too risky so he just quit playing golf. If he was still alive he could have been helped by NA.

Re: Depression

It easy to sink into depression your hands are everything to us or thats what you think when you develop Dupyutrens why me.

I am a 43 your old male have had it in both hands for over 10 years it can be painful uncomfortable etc etc.

But saying that I would not trade places with anyone develop the mind it is a powerfull tool stop the negative thought patterns before it becomes a habit and a permanent cycle.

I use my own method to delay onset basically if I want to flatten my hand against a falt surface I will use force this is painfull and not for everyone.

Re: Depression

My battle with difficult feelings regarding this disease came after my first (and hopefully only) Open Surgery. I still have a stiff, swollen and painful hand over three years later. One of the ways I coped with this partial crippling is to get involved in the "NA Movement" that started on the BioS Forum.

Realize that you are *not* alone and that improvements are being made in treatment. NA is one of them. Stay in touch here for the latest news.
