Can't remember. Probably just Googling, but sure as hell pleased that I did. Life would be dull without it. Where else would you find a group of nice people who care, give support and who can provide answers to questions about damn near anything.

I think I was googling to. And I will echo everything GreyBeard said!

It was publically broadcasted by a chap (who then went a wee bit strange before being kicked off the site so never did get to find out what happened to him) on a parrot rescue website,

I was trying to find any info on bladder control, and literally stumbled onto this site.
Doctors/ nurses should intern HERE first before going out in the physical world, imo. They'd be much more well rounded to practical aspects on what works vs. what is overkill or unnessesary when dealing with SCI.

Same here,,, Ain't google a hoot???
It came up on two consecutive searches for sci problems I was having. Figured it was worth looking into. I certainly haven't been sorry I did.

I was in a drunken stupor hitting the keys aimlessly on my keyboard.
Actually, i was writing a poem about being paralyzed and googled paralyzed poems and the sucker just popped up.
Weird how some of us just stumble on to it.

E-Dog, would you care to enrich our cultural sensibilities with your sojourn in the literary realm.
I think I speak for us all when I say that a poem from your deliciously sick and twisted mind must surely be a treat.

I was googling info on paralysis and up popped this website with a cool name that claimed to have humorous stuff related to paralysis. Sometimes I can be kinda dense, so it took me like two weeks to figure out the name

I was looking for info on acupuncture and nerve pain initially then got swallowed up by the wealth of information and the rest, as they say, is history.
Am thankful for the site that I never wasted money on acupuncture though!

Cannot remember, except that I noticed that Simon had a spelling error on his T&C page, ]which he immediately corrected![.
Since then I have introduced my consultant Neurologist to the site [so he found it by word of mouth] but I don't know if he has joined as a member.
What is shocking/inspiring is that Simon's baby is so much more personally supportive and informative than anything I have yet seen in formal post-injury medicine...

For me,
I was looking for some answers & this was the first site I found & as yet not felt the need to look anywhere else.

My wife was doing research while I was in rehab and found Simon's site to be very informative. She knows I'm into forums and suggested this one. It is, by far, the best for information.
'Cause that's how I roll!

Found it while looking for info about a specific cathing problem. Had come across the site before a few times in the past before, don't know why I didn't join sooner...

Found it via Wikipedia while wildly searching for any and all CES injury support. There is a sort-of forum available, but it isn't nearly as outstanding as this one. Actually, besides medical journal stuff, there really isn't much out there, period.

Google search for adaptive motorcycle for paraplegic, or something like that, and ended up here. I still don't have a street bike but, I've definitely enjoyed my stay at apparelyzed!
