Scoliosis is a personal passion of mine. Some have asked what drew me to this cause and I respond by saying “I didn’t choose Scoliosis, Scoliosis chose me” and I really wouldn’t want it any other way. I have been dealing with my Scoliosis for many years now, since roughly 1999. Now 11 yearslater I have been through three spine braces, seven spine surgeries, a hip surgery and multiple physical therapies all while going through school and trying to be a normal girl.

"I think what you're doing's great! I'm from England and I had the surgery in december '10 and it's nice to know that other people around the world do something about Scoliosis and don't just see it as a bad back. It means a lot and you're amazing, true inspiration not to get down about it. Now I have the motivation that it really does get better. "
-Mimi, England
Thank you so much for taking the time to relate to the majority of us even more. I too was bullied in high school. So bad that to this day at 23, it's hard to forget the words people said to me. Since I discovered you, I have felt less alone. I actually consider this page a kind of safe haven, where I can discuss my scoliosis... "

"My Soliosis Story" is an ongoing act of love... Alana, thanks for all your positive messages. Wish I had this resource when I was 15 (of course back then, dinosaurs swam in the bay near my home.)"
