A brachial plexus injury can be debilitating for the sufferer and devastating for relatives, especially if it was a result of a birth injury.
Brachial plexus can vary in the way it affects people; while some may lose all function of their arm and hand down one side, others may still have some function and movement and are less affected by the condition. However, as well as impinging on its sufferers' physical state, the condition can also have serious psychological effects leading to extreme frustration and in some cases, depression.
Many brachial plexus sufferers take solace from speaking to others who share the condition as they can relate to each other's issues that the injury presents and get advice on therapies and treatments that may help alleviate their condition.
The rise of social networking sites has made it easier for people to find others they can relate to; others with shared interests or in this case, shared health problems. One sufferer of the condition has set up a website and an account on twitter purely dedicated to his condition and the experiences he is going through due to his disability.
With 'tweets' about his upcoming therapy and links to his website crammed full of information about his experiences of the condition, the site serves as a valuable source of information for other brachial plexus patients who want to hear from others going through the same as them.
While information from medical practitioners and published journals and articles help patients learn more about the physical aspects of the injury, hearing from others with brachial plexus can offer patients emotional support as it allows them to see that they are not alone in what they are going through.
The forum section of the website offers the perfect place for the sharing of experiences to take place. It acts as an outlet for sufferers to either put questions to others about operations or new treatments they are about to try. It can also simply serve as a place to speak of their achievements or vent their frustrations to people that can really empathise with what they are going through.
