	TSR : Web boards : M/s D/s O&P : "Slaves With Disabilities?" 1 2 3 4 5 Slaves With Disabilities? (44) This post is on the M/s D/s O&P web board. 2 Jul 07, 6:39 AM 608-449-833 5 yrs i also have a list of issues. one is disabling and is a nerve/pain disorder in both of my feet and legs from the knees down. i do not have full range of motion in one knee. therefor i can not kneel or get on all fours. the physical limits are the easiest to see and make adjustments for. the harder ones are all the 'sidebar' symptoms that come with this disorder. anxiety, short term and recall memory issues, panic attacks, muscles spasms and horrid cramping if kept in some positions too long. and that is on top of the near constant pain. i also have mental issues, with severe abuse in my past and mild OCD. i was honest with my Master up front and He read up on these things. He makes adjustments where needed but also pushes me to not fall back on them as excuses. such as my memory. my memory sucks..to put it bluntly. He understands that. He doesn't expect it to suddenly 'be healed' and knows that it is a real condition that causes it, but He does expect me not to use that as an excuse. He helps me to find ways to remember things. post-it notes, repeated routines, etc. knowing He has read up on them and also that He would never put me in a physical situation that my body simply could not handle, helps me feel safe. He calls me from bookstores alot, telling me about a book He just read on memory issues, abuse...etc. it warms my heart that He takes my conditions seriously, but does not see me as less capable for it. 2 Jul 07, 6:57 AM Master_David1965 US(CA), 5 yrs 608-449-833 wrote: i also have a list of issues. one is disabling and is a nerve/pain disorder in both of my feet and legs from the knees down. i do not have full range of motion in one knee. therefor i can not kneel or get on all fours. the physical limits are the easiest to see and make adjustments for. the harder ones are all the 'sidebar' symptoms that come with this disorder. anxiety, short term and recall memory issues, panic attacks, muscles spasms and horrid cramping if kept in some positions too long. and that is on top of the near constant pain. i also have mental issues, with severe abuse in my past and mild OCD. i was honest with my Master up front and He read up on these things.

It sounds like you have a great Master. Kudos to both Him and you for embracing the situation and working with it. Not to hijack the thread, but I, as well as My former slave, have disabilities. Did W/we let it get in the way of what W/we had? Not really. There were times when allowances were made for whatever challenges faced U/us, but it never got in the way. 2 Jul 07, 7:48 PM babalon US, 6 yrs Errs_Tay wrote: Oh geeze... The way people will say something like that. No offense to your Signore. I mean, he gets it when people say things like that to him, so he wouldn't expect it to change with you. Totally not his fault. It drives me nuts. It's like "I KNOW it's there. Now shut up so I can talk to who I am talking to." And then they get mad when you do not repeat it for others! It's like... I am currently looking for a new place to live. I know that I have a cat and that that is NOT changing for anything. But I'll mention Leo and people think that I have a kid. Then I have to explain that he is my cat. And then people are like "We don't allow you to have pets." But why not? They never give me a good reason. I've had to spend ages trying to get various people to allow me to have him. I have negotiated his presence with most of the landpeople I've spoken to. But I keep forgetting because *I* know it, so why wouldn't they? Actually, after I hung up and we talked about it, and I explained, he apologized and then asked "so in the future I would need to say "tell them x" for you to understand..." He's great about that. He's willing to actually ask and to explain. Which makes him wonderful to interact with. Also, he's foreign-born (Italian) so he doesn't have the same cultural assumptions that an American would, which helps because he *expects* there to be cultural differences. It's really helpful for me. 4 Jul 07, 10:24 PM cheeky_angel NZ, 4 yrs I have a left clubfoot and my left leg is slightly smaller and shorter than the right leg. I can get severe cramps if I overdo stuff sometimes or have a magnesit shortage in my body. I cant be tied up in certain positions for too long. I also have spina bifida occulta (closed back) which manifested itself in the club foot. So my lowerback can get really sore sometimes as well. I have PCOS. (polycistic ovarian syndrome) so a lot of stuff comes with that as well. Moodiness ect. He does make allowances for it. So certain positions are totally out or used just for short period of times but I dont really think it gets me off. When we start going deeper into our relationship we will just change certain stuff around. 5 Jul 07, 8:17 PM 564-105-897 FR, 4 yrs je lis tres mal l anglais mais cela ma plus alors si vous pouviez ecrire en francais ce serai bien @564-105-897 5 Jul 07, 9:52 PM Civitas9 4 yrs Cette annonce devrait être ici: http://www.slaveregister.com/personals/ C. 8 Aug 07, 9:24 PM 427-222-624 5 yrs This one has amnesia and short-term memory loss, which makes training interesting, but over time things have gotten easier.

People often misuse the word deaf, and the Deaf community tends to be unreasonable about what the term really does mean. There are many levels of deafness, and none are any less "deaf" than the other. Some are deaf/mutes that only communicate by sign. Some wear hearing aids, like me, but their comprehension without visual cues is zero, thus, deaf. I can hear quite a bit with my hearing aids, but I cannot understand speech without lipreading and I cannot recognize what a sound is unless I have a visual connection (example: I hear a dog bark but so no dog. I won't recognize the sound). I'm still deaf, despite the hearing aids and the sounds I hear with them. Deaf means that amplification of sound does not aid in comprehension of sound. Hard of hearing or any level of hearing impairment implies that amplification will help increase the comprehension of the sound and hearing. So in the same way the Deaf (capital D meaning the Deaf/signing community) get "annoyed" with those claiming to be deaf when they are not exactly like them, deaf (small d, meaning non-signing, hearing world community) like me get annoyed with any implied exclusivity of the word. Regardless of how much I can "hear" with my aids, I still reply 100% on lipreading to communicate, I have a hearing assistance dog that I am lost without, and I am very much deaf serijules Edited 19 Sep 07, 5:28 PM by enslavedgarnet 22 Sep 07, 9:18 AM 378-355-860 4 yrs Hello ya'll, i am captive_dove... i just got cleared for postings etc... and have been waiting to respond, i am glad to have found this posting and read it through... i have been worried... my past Master was with me when many of my health issues started to manifest themselves and knew before hand and was wonderful about it... i have been alone for just over two years as many dont want to deal with me... i notice first the reactions are to my cane... i was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 2.5 yearts of age... about 7 or 8 years ago it started hitting me on a daily basis... i am also Bipolar rapid cycler to the depressive side or what they call mixed episodes which manifests itself in a type of energized depression...been on meds for years and diagnosis has changed a few times lol... Anyhow my point is this... i am newly once again a very blessed and happy owned slave but Master knows little of my disorders.. i a wondering howw to educate him especially where the Bipolar is concerned as the issues with my arthritis are pretty basic and workable... I have been blessed with a Master who cares... and wants to know what to expect and look for etc. and i have already told him to look here... i am just curious if anyone knows of a better way for me to get Master information regarding my issues. Thank you for your time and for all the support i felt reading these postings even though i know they werent wrote for me they touched me as i had all but given up on finding happiness in slavery again then i met my wonderful Master Hawke. Serenity is NOT peace FROM the storm... it IS pace AMID the storm... Hawke1's captive_dove Edited 22 Sep 07, 6:47 PM by 378-355-860 7 Nov 07, 4:26 AM masterJason US, 4 yrs Y! Hello A/all, i am slave stephanie. i am not an owned slave at the moment but i will be in the near future. The Master i had and i decided to wait until i move into my own place before i get reowned. W/we are both disabled with the disability Spina Bifida. W/we also both suffer from depression which doctors cannot find even a small ounce of depression in U/us which i think is bogus if Y/you ask me. i'm moving out on my own in a year or so and i'm nervous as all get out. i've never lived out on my own but i'm excited at the same time. Not exactly sure how i'll react to living on my own. Next page
