Doctors believe that the disorder may stem from concussions and PTSD due to a homophobic hate crime she suffered in August '10. She is a division one hockey player at Northeastern University on a full scholarship and has had to take medical leave and will never play hockey again. Not much is known about conversion disorder and she wants people to become more aware of this devastating disorder. I'm so proud of her for how she has handled this setback. She really deserves a break and I know one thing that would make her happy is to be recognized by Ellen. I just want something good to happen so she doesn't lose her optimistic outlook. If you could view the video on youtube, like it, pass it along to anyone and everyone, that'd be amazing. Thanks so much! This is a video of Danielle a couple years ago playing hockey. www.youtube.com www.twitter.com/daniellekerr96 UPDATE** Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you all know I am doing so much better, I have made so many improvements you wouldn't even recognize me anymore! I still deal with attacks but they are much more controlled! I will try to post a video of healthy clips soon! Thank you to everyone for everything. I did not expect this huge amount of support and to still have it daily is the best feeling in the world. Thank you for all your prayers. |
