Other Causes of Paralysis

This SCI blog isn't just to inform people who are not familiar with the effects of spinal cord injuries and those with SCI themselves...it is also a blog advocating and informing people about other diseases, injuries, and disorders that cause paralysis. I'll be listing some that I have come to learn about myself, but I will post information about each of them individually.

Other causes of paralysis:

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis

Stroke

These do not currently have cures, but research for cures and development of better adaptive technology and therapies is taking place to help quell symptoms caused by them.

Just a Dollar Please :)

justadollarplease.org


Above is a website dedicated to gathering funds for SCI clinical trials. Please, if you would like to help the SCI community in any small way, donate a dollar to research...it may not seem like much, but if millions of people donate a dollar (even a dollar a year), the proceeds add up quickly! It's a wonderful way to help out!
