I don’t know if this is because something in me is different or because or because I have become sympathetic to those that have disorders where motion affects them (Like Marissa).

I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are very much helpful. As our company is based in the US, it's all a little new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own actual enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case. What a striking post!

I was blessed to get through college without this condition. I know there are those forced to leave college because it's too difficult to handle vestibular issues and the demands of college. I am so glad to hear that you are vertigo free! That is so great! Yes, this condition is torture. Yet, I have had a fair amount of time living with this condition. I recently made a decision not to allow this condition to take more from me than it already has. I realize there are still things I can control, like my attitude. I am going to write a blog post about perception not always being reality. Although I had energy and was upbeat, I was a mess for the next few days. It was worth it! I am so happy that everyone was able to feel my joy and elation. I realized after that interview just how important it is to contribute. Thanks again for your kind words and for the willingness to share your story and thoughts! Much love, Marissa @Peter,

I am a headache sufferer myself, daily chronic headaches for about the last 8 years. About 2x a week these induce vertigo and it is tough. So I have a lot of appreciation for what you and Marissa have had to deal with. @Peter Thanks for sharing your story.

Her story is as unique as her upbeat and positive attitude towards her disorder. I was surprised how much enthusiasm and energy she showed throughout the interview! I remember in the Fall of my Sophomore year of college I had a bout with vertigo. It was awful. I couldn't sleep well. Couldn't focus in class. I was a wreck. But it only lasted for about two months. When I heard she has been dealing with her vestibular disorder for six years, my hear sank. I couldn't imagine dealing with those same equilibrium problems for so long. It must be torture. I'm glad you made a post on the interview. It seems that many designers and developers are gravitating to Marissa and her story. Hopefully she'll get the help she needs and creates a second career in web design. -Peter I listened to The Big Web Show episode with Marissa.

The internet should be an enabler for people who have restrictions in the past and only through learning from incredible people like you will we ever get technology to truly be equal. And thanks for the update in the numbers, I'll make sure to include those above! @Marissa It’s my pleasure to help spread this.

Thank you for desiring to spread the word about vestibular disorders. I headed back to the VEDA site to confirm the statistics I mentioned on the show. I suffer from a chronic vestibular condition and here are the stats for chronic vestibular conditions according to VEDA: “Approximately four percent (almost eight million) of American adults report a chronic problem (lasting three months or longer) with balance, while an additional 1.1 percent (2.4 million) of American adults report a chronic problem with dizziness alone.” Gregory, thank you so much! Have an awesome rest of the week. Much love, Marissa This blog post is much appreciated! Thank you for desiring to spread the word about vestibular disorders.
