Hi,
My ALS started in my arms, so consequently I can no longer move them. When I go to bed I have them propped up on two pillows, but within a few hours they always slide off where my hands end up in my lap.
I was wondering what other people do in my situation? When they are on the pillow, I can still slide them a little to reposition, but once they're in my lap, they're stuck there till morning. I don't want to wake people out of a sound sleep to put them back, but some times I wake up and it's hours before I can fall back asleep because they are so uncomfortable.
Thanks and appreciate everyone's helpful input!
