About Me:
Hey there! My name is Annabel. I was born with a form of Cerebral Palsy, called hemiplegia, and a hip condition called DDH. I have had multiple surgeries to try and correct my dislocated hip, including two last month, but these have been unsuccessful. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hip, and other forms of chronic pain. These are conditions that leave me in constant pain that never go away no matter what I do to treat them.
After finding out that chronic pain was not talked about or heard of very much, I decided to join wikiHow, to share my knowledge and past experiences that I thought may help people out there with the same conditions as me, but also to spread awareness.
I've since written multiple articles about Chronic Pain, Cerebral Palsy, Hemiplegia and DDH.
I'm also a co-author here, sharing my knowledge and helping improve articles with my knowledge and fluency in British Sign Language, so let me know if you need any help in that area! You can learn some simple phrases, colours or numbers, if you'd like!
Since joining wikiHow on 4th August 2017, I have been welcomed into the welcoming and NAB team which I find very rewarding as I know my friendly tone is helping new users find their way around the site. If you have any questions about me, or the wiki, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or send me an email.
