    Wheelchair clothing questions

    My husband is now wheelchair reliant. We have been on the MND/ALS journey since September 2014. We are experiencing greater difficulty transferring or standing up to change clothes or go to the toilet. So, I wondered if anyone out there can refer me to a manufacturer of men's shorts,or trousers...

    Early ALS like symptoms getting progressively worse, very worried.

    I've read many of the posts on the ALS forums and have decided to make my own post in the hopes that someone can offer some insight to my situation. I appreciate any feedback I can get as this has become something I cannot ignore and am constantly looking into. I am a 27 year old female and am...

    A real tongue-biter

    I know we all have those moments when something bubbles up and we either blurt it out before thinking or bite down really, really hard. Today was such a day for me. I left this morning on my weekend escape. My SIL joined me for the first leg, which was several hours at an outlet mall. Hubby's...

    Please help!

    Adapted first pairs of shorts...

    I finally got back to the sewing machine. This morning I adapted my first pairs of shorts for hubby using the instructions from Diane's website, ALS from Both Sides. Thank you, Diane! I split the back of a pair of elastic waist knit shorts and used the other method on a pair of rip stop nylon...

    Murphy Lives here

    So, I am positive that Murphy live at our house, because if anything strange can happen it will. Lets start at last Saturday, Timothy's son's wedding day in Texas. Obviously Tim was unable to attend in person as we live 2000 miles away, but we did attend by Skype. This is very fitting as that...

    I need a break. But how?

    Hi everyone, I didn't want to hi-jack anyone else's post so decided to start a new one. I just need someone to talk to about this who understands, so thanks for being there all of you :) As I have mentioned in other posts I am my husband's only caregiver. He refuses to allow anyone else do...

    Gag reflex kicking in

    Hello, I would like to know what a sudden gag reflex taking pills or eating even small pieces of food means. I don't think it happens all the time (not me, but my loved one) and it is very recent. Her voice is quite weak but breathing is fine although sometimes she has a very labored cough...
