Anyone else have low muscle tone and bad back pain?

Hi, as I am writing this my back and shoulders hurt a lot. My shoulders click a lot at times. I have been to doctors who say it is mostly caused by me not moving for hours at a time when I'm sitting down (I don't notice until it's too late that I haven't moved in ages). If I go walking my ankles hur...

Support given at university for dyspraxics

Hi, I'm in my third year of an Honours degree in English and Geography. I would like to get other people's experience of the supports (if any) available to dyspraxics at your university. This is for my own interest, not a research assignment, I am writing this out of frustration with my own universi...

Re: Sleeping, at my wits end, just me?

I am also having trouble sleeping, partly because I'm on my holidays from university at the moment and my sleeping pattern is so messed up and other times because I can't stop thinking about serious stuff before I go to sleep. I find it helps me to escape to the world of my imagination before I go t...

Re: Worried About My Future

I have been told something similar in a previous role which I found out really didn't suit me. It was door to door sales so I had to walk around all day which damaged my weak ankles due to low muscle tone, I didn't make the sales quota as a result. My sales did improve though after I was able to wri...

Re: Communicating with teachers about dyspraxia

Hi, I'm posting this from an Irish prospective but I know what you're going through (sort of, as a student myself, not a parent). It can be hit and miss with regard to educators and dyspraxia, some are great, some are not so great to say the least. I got lucky at school because I became close to one...

Read on if you want to know more!

Hi, I decided to try and do my introduction slightly differently, I hope you aren't disappointed by the lead up to this post. I'm 21 years old and I study English and Geography at college, in fact I'm actually in the final year of my undergraduate degree, (I could write a whole other post about the ...
