I’m an RN on a SCI inpatient rehabilitation unit. Your poem really touched me... as you shared your struggles, I had flashbacks of patients I took care of throughout the years. Thanks for sharing your story.

I wish so many people could realize the blessings they have all around them, I've been in a wheelchair for five years now. Your whole life changes, thank you.

Do you have any nerve pain ?

Dear Erin, I love your poem, your therapists, your friends, and YOU. I know how it feels to live with pain and challenges every day, but yours are greater, and YOU are braver and stronger. Your accomplishments are admirable because you do not boast about the good you are doing, helping others with spinal cord injuries. Erin, I wish you all of the good things that are coming around the corner, and good people so lucky to be able to share your path. Thank you for opening your hearts to your thousands of followers, who follow you for a good reason: because of who YOU are. Blessings, With love and kindness, Lilian, your friend who thinks you're so super-awesome!!!

You are so kind, thank you so much! I'm so sorry you are hurting but keep fighting♥️🙏🏻

My husband has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), for over 2 years now. He cannot feed himself. He cannot scratch his own itch. He's on biPap machine and eats pureed foods and drinks thickened water and all fluids including soups. Eventually he needs to have tracheostomy and feeding tube. So I completely understand you and how you are feeling. Illnesses and or unfortunately events happened to one's life will ultimately modify one's perspective in life. We cried and we laughed together and we held hands and kissed each other. Love your videos. Keep up your great work.

God's continued blessings for you and Jack, And your family!

I’m ashamed of complaining about my aches and pains. You are so brave. God bless you.

God bless you and your boyfriend for standing by you . April 28 2015 I cruched c3 and c4 . My wife of 25 years turned on me like a rabid dog , left me disabled without any money.... but I overcame all of it... you deserve a gold metal , mad respect for your boyfriend 👍👍

At the Second Coming of The Lord we will all receive glorified bodies (those who follow Jesus). You will have perfect health, a perfect body that walks with ease. Have hope in The Lord! He never, never lets us down! Fight the good fight. Finish the race!

ABILITIES Disabilities, never define who we are. Stuttering never defines who we are. Tourettes Syndrome does not define who we are. Autism of all spectrums and types never ever defines who we truly are. Physical motor disabilities never once posed challenges for anyone; Disabilities are only challenges if you make them challenges. In the word disabilities, you will find the word, abilities. Having disabilities does not make you any less of a loving and giving human person. Practicing positivity, optimism, and gratitude, sharing love and kindness with the people you love, and sharing a loving smile to those less fortunate in the world is the most powerful combatant against struggle and heartache.

So much respect, honestly you’re a great role model. I really look up to your positivity and out look on life

YOU INSPIRE MY OSCAR ACADEMY AWARD WINNING JOURNEY SO MUCH BEYOND WORDS ERIN FIELD. My Superheroic film was so moving it reached Ms. Josephine Gillan of Game of Thrones publicist desk. I will share my film script with you Erin, Goucher Alumna Maria Venturelli, Maine Film Directing organizations, and all over the world because my Superheroic film message of love, kindness, compassion, and inclusion and empathy is something we all can relate to.

Hi Erin, I am so so happy to see a new video from you. I know you have had health problems recently. I find you to be the most inspiring KZreadr out there. I know you probably don't want to be seen that way, but your videos are so helpful to so many people. I am going through a very hard time emotionally but seeing what you go through puts things into perspective. I know you help a lot of people, not because you are injured, but because the way you choose to go about your recovery and life. Please make lots more videos! If you are open to making one about what you feel in your body, sensation and nerve pain, that would be very interesting. xxx

Thank you so much for sharing, Erin! You inspire me with your determination. I am in awe. Sending you love from Germany. A fellow human being on this beautiful planet together.

Right in the feels. I was injured in Aug of 2003(C3/C4). I laid in bed for 3 moths before I could move anything at all. I was lucky enough to get most everything back with exception of my left arm, I can walk all be it with a cane though.. I no longer take anything for granted I promise you that. Make sure you celebrate even the smallest accomplishment. When I put a pillow case on a pillow I wanted to throw a party(LOL). People just don't understand. Stay strong and stay positive.

Hello, You are a very brave young lady, I see a bright future for you, I know, because you are a fighter and you will show everyone someday soon. God bless.

I’m glad this injury hasn’t got the best of you! It’s one tough road but I’m grateful to still be in the land of the living! I’ll be 10 years out in July, hurt at 19 and still making progress when I put in max effort! Good luck on your journey! God bless!

OMG someone who understands dysreflexia not that it's some great thing but it's so hard to tell ppl about it. I became a function quadraplegic my husband met me with my injuries I have been injured for 8 years. You are an inspiration may God love and protect you and your family and friends.

Thank you so much! Yes it’s so hard; people think that the main issue is just not being able to walk but there are so many hidden issues that come with this injury. That’s the biggest thing I wanted to explain in this video. Praying for you and hope you’re doing well!😊💗

From a very young age I made a point of learning life lessons through other people's experiences in addition to my own. Thank you for sharing your story...!! You are truly an inspiration...!

Amazing video! Love your perspective, happiness, bravery, and strength! Thanks for sharing wisdom and the reminder that life is precious and we shouldn’t get caught up in things that don’t matter. 💕

Love your video. I just found your channel. You are such an inspiration. I will keep praying for you. Thank you for displaying your bravery and courage. God bless you!

I admire your strength. I am getting back into a race car again soon as it is something I have done since I was 19. I am 68 now and sometimes I am angry that I can't do what I used to do. I will think of your strength and enjoy however more drives I have. Thank you.

It's a blessing each day... to see that there's hope in GOD. I was in tears... when I had my back accident. I was able to recover quickly thanks to God. I am praying for you.

This is so beautiful, you’re an inspiration 100% 💕

You are nothing less than fantastic and inspiring....and well spoken.

Erin, you are an amazing woman. You truly inspired me with your video. In cases like yours, you do find out who your true friends are. I can only imagine how you feel, I was diagnosed with severe RA at the age of 24. I have definatly had my lows but I keep a positive attitude about it. I was lucky my boyfriend did not leave me, he could have. He chose to marry me and I have been blessed. I have some very true friends and I can call at a moments notice. I am happy you have a boyfriend and family that loves and adores you! Keep your positive attitude! ❤

You are a beautiful girl. You are doing great with your rehab. I also love your fur baby! So cute! 🐶

I’m in awe of this young woman…and so happy she’s found other women to be inspired by….not those three she mentioned….they do nothing for anyone to be inspired by…nothing. But the other ones she mentioned absolutely yes. And she has true wonderful friends and a boyfriend who truly loves HER……and he’s what a real man is. I wish her the absolute best in whatever she does…both of them.

You are a inspiration for people your a amazing young lady god bless you keep up all the good work

What a beautiful fighter you are!!!

This is courage pure and simple.

You have unbelievable courage and may God bless you and your love ones you're beautiful.

I subbed to your channel with a drop of my tear, only subbing your channel is not what I call showing love but what I have in my heart for you a deep motivation and a never lasting pain of your condition that left me thinking that even im fully functional still complain about many things in my life that in my perspective is impossible but today you showed me whats impossible and whats not. Im Muslim idc if someone will be offended if I pray for you in my way from allah

You r so gorgeous!!! And you are a bright light !!!

Pain everyday of my life, giving up the job I had for 7 years, unable to do most things I used to be able to do.. my bad days still are bad days but since my diagnosis I have accomplished one of my dreams becoming a writer.. I fight through the pain and try to be happy when it isnt as severe. My disease will never go away but my sadness can, my feeling of helplessness can.. thank you for being so strong!

YOUR POEM ERIN IS HEAVEN-SENT AND EXEMPLARY. I will always find myself reading your beyond powerful and uplifting poem every morning to give me even further motivation for me to achieve my Oscar Academy Award Winning dream for my film project Superheroic (I finished my script for it six months ago) I wish there was some way I could thank you in person for how much you inspire me. The main character of my Superheroic film (which I will be submitting to the Oscars Academy of Beverly Hills once I get help producing it) in the future overcomes her mild Autism disability: Her name is Eleanor Warren. Superheroic is a story about the rising film directing career of Manhattan New York City native Mrs. Eleanor Warren, who is a 27 year old global LGBTQQIAP ally, a proud biracial Latina African American woman, a proud multiracial equality identifying woman, a global Times Up Now ambassador, a global gender equality activist, a global intersectional feminist, a global disability legal justice ambassador, a global women's rights equality activist, a global USC Annenberg Inclusion Rider Film movement ambassador, and a proud openly autistic woman and global autism disability legal justice ambassador. In the beginning of my film Superheroic, Eleanor overcomes her first ever acting audition rejection, and uses her uplifting storytelling voice and writing abilities, to receive acceptance into USC Annenberg's Cinema and Film Studies program in Beverly Hills California. Following the end of her four year doctoral film directing program at USC, Eleanor made history as the first ever openly autistic film directing student at USC to earn high academic honors and her film directing production card from SAGAFTRA and the Directors Guild of America. At her graduation address, twenty seven year old and decorated five star Admiral of the US Air Force and Phoenix Arizona native Admiral Vincent Everett delivers a motivating and empowering graduation address for Eleanor's graduating class. After Eleanor's graduation, Eleanor immigrated to Jerusalem to become an Israeli citizen, because she wanted to explore her Jewish roots all her life. Toward the end of her film, after Eleanor receives her dual Israeli American immigration status, Eleanor receives a call from Admiral Vincent Everett's Phoenix Arizona Air Force base, to hear that Admiral Everett's base had to defend his base from a major enemy opponent called "Adversity." Eleanor would eventually save Admiral Everett's life at Everett's Air Force base, and Eleanor would end up winning an Oscar Academy Award in Beverly Hills for her superheroic leadership, loving soul voice, courage, and kindhearted humanity. The major message of my film and from my main superhero woman character Eleanor is "never give up" and always embrace the beauty of who you are, which is a principle of love and inclusion The Oscars Academy has championed every day The Oscars has existed and since Dolby Theater of Beverly Hills has existed. I am planning on filming in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, SoHo Manhattan, Phoenix Arizona, Indiana, Iowa, and central Dublin Ireland among other global film locations I am considering.

What an amazing video Erin. I hope you are doing well and remember, 'walking is over rated'. You have become a much better person...well, less materialistic is what I mean.
