My legs and arms are getting much weaker but I am still functional with both and can do things like walk around a grocery store (with minor foot drag and stumbling). However my breathing gets so bad that I have to stop and try and relax my breathing, which usually does not help, so I push through and just finish the task I am doing.
Do people use a chair just because of the breathing? I don't think a walker type device would help with this.
I asked my ALS nurse about a portable bipap (trilogy) and she said that without using a walker or chair that it would not be useful. She stated that they where not backpack type units, but could I put one in a backpack?
