So you want to share your scoliosis story...

Great!  One of the most valuble tools to help other scoliosis patients prior to or during their treatment is to know what to expect and that they are not alone.  My sharing your experiences, you are able to share your side of the story with teens just like you.

Here is what to do...

We accept your stories in most formats.  If you are not too sure what to write, we have a survey you can fill out to the best of your ability.  Or, if you'd prefer, you may free-write your story in whatever format you'd prefer.  You may write it as a journal or just as an essay. It is up to you!  If you would like to read the survey questions to help you write your story, follow these links: Surgery Survey   Bracing Survey

Stories we are looking for:

- Scoliosis Experiences: Just found out you have scoliosis, or just begining looking at treatment options - Bracing Experiences: Stories of wearing the brace, having it fitted, etc. - Surgery Experiences: Stories of having surgery to correct your scoliosis - Parent Experiences: Parents who want to share their feelings of their child's scoliosis and treatment - Friends and Siblings Experiences: If you have a friend or sibling that had treatment or is having treatment for their scoliosis, and want to share your feelings, feel free to!

How to Send Your Story In:

Just write up your story and e-mail them to us!  Be sure that when you send it, make the subject of the e-mail "Scoliosis".  Also, you may send it as an attachment or within the e-mail; that's up to you.  Just be sure that if you do send it as an attachment that it is in a Microsoft format (i.e. Word, Works, Wordpad, etc.), otherwise I won't be able to open it! PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunantly, due to the web site editing program, I have to retype all the stories in... which takes some time.  Therefore, it may take some time before your story is posted.  Please be paitient!  It just takes some time!  Thanks for your cooperation!
