Hello Everybody,
My dad's disease makes him more and more miserable, and he has less and less patience. Now he is upset that he is supposed to use his BiPap and cough assist. Neither works really well for him.
With the BiPap, he constantly complains that it leeks into his eyes, and he has eye problems even from before ALS.
With the cough assist, he says that it blows onto his throat, and makes him sick, and that it caused an even greater amount of flegm that doesn't let him sleep, goes through his nose, and makes him so miserable.
Are there any tricks I could suggest to him? Does anybody else experience similar problems?
I'd be grateful for any advice...
