Hi everyone
Well, hubby got measured for his new chair today--very exciting for him. He got to drive a Permobil 300 and wants that one, with the elevator and the foot drop down thingie. He impressed the rep with all the things he already knew about chairs and how much more we knew what we...
I am helping my 51yr. old brother who is single and currently living in an apartment, 3rd floor, no elevator. His lease is up 6/2014 and has recently started collecting SSDI (1,100.00 mo). I have been researching low income housing for him from many many resources, and feel like I'm facing brick...
We have become pros at avoiding denials of coverage for high-mobility DME (wheelchair, patient lift, hospital bed, slings, tilting shower chair, etc.). We have won all of our appeals for the equipment we need and now have high-level personal contacts with all DME decision-makers. Here are some...

My late husband used this chair for one year. I really liked the ease and the functions it had. It is hunter green, roho seat, elevator lift , cover, manual, charger and tools. I keep it charged in hopes to find someone to buy. A 35,000 chair and i'm asking 4,000.00. Anyone interested please...

I was diagnosed with ALS in June of 2012. Obviously, I was hoping the doctors were wrong but I don't think they were. My onset was in the left leg with a bit of foot drop. I then started to have a little slurred speech. My biggest problem though is spasticity in the legs. I am starting to think...

As I sit here pondering what to say, I wonder if anyone but me will read it. I've decided to start this because I've read a number of posts and blogs and can't find much on the initial symptoms, progression, and eventually, diagnosis of a MND. I don't want to forget, and if it turns out I do, I...

So today I am irritated.
[Brief disclaimer: I'm a generally happy person. My progression thus far has given my neurologist the confidence to say that I will have ALS for "many more years," and at 31 right now, I'm hoping that sees me to my 2 1/2yos high school graduation.]
I still work...
Trying to assist my best pal whose husband was just diagnosed with ALS ....she's trying to figure if an elevator will make sense....I'm wondering if moving a bedroom downstairs is a better idea . he is completely mobile now so any advice is appreciated . Thank you
Hi. It has been since May that I have been on here due to my partner Erik retiring from a dream job in Hawaii in June. We moved back to Florida to be close to family and friends, and we are finally settled in a location that Erik is very comfortable with and we are enjoying every single day...
