    Trilogy settings

    Thank you Nuts and Laurie for responding. I remember seeing posts in the past that discussed Trilogy settings. I really didn't pay attention to them at the time. I tried a search, wanting educate myself, but came up with nothing. I will talk to RT tomorrow and see if she has any suggestions.

    Trilogy settings

    I have been using my Trilogy at night for 1.5 years and for the past 6 months appropriately 6-8 hours during the day. Lately I have been having issues, usually in the morning, where I struggle with exhaling. The Trilogy is ramped up with strong inhalation breathes and I tend to take in 5 or 6...

    Facial muscles

    Hi Idaho. There could be a couple nerves being affected here. Your upper lids are held up by your levator muscle. It is innervated by the ocularmotor nerve ( 3rd cranial nerve) , which also controls the muscles that move your eyeball around. The muscles that help you blink is a different nerve...

    Palliative Care

    dl, I enrolled in hospice two months ago. We made sure I had everything I needed as far as the wheelchair is concerned prior to enrolling. I purposely waited a few months while I had a vent tray and some head controls added. As for hospice, we have also been very happy with them. The nurse is...

    PALS ROLL CALL NEW THREAD (PALS ONLY) [Wednesday or whenever]

    I had a pretty good week in northern Michigan. Our snow is decreasing, but it is still cold and the back roads are still icy. I had a great visit from a down state cousin who were spending some time in Mackinaw City. Always great to see them. Steve, your ski outing sounds like a lot of fun...

    PALS ROLL CALL NEW THREAD (PALS ONLY) [Wednesday or whenever]

    After lurking on the forum for over a year, I just recently clicked on the roll call thread and enjoyed getting to know some of the members a bit more personally. I figured I should also share. I was 56 when I received my diagnosis. I believe I have progressed a little quicker than average...

    Tobii user needs glasses

    DrDark, that was my attitude also, I have this device and I am going to learn as much about it I can. I am far from an expert, but if I could help in any way, please ask. Now as far as glasses lenses, I am a retired optometrist, so I should know a thing or two there. I figured my normal...

    Tobii user needs glasses

    Hi DrDark. I am a little late responding, but I would like to share my experiences. First off, I have not tried eye gaze attached to a tablet, so I can't really compare, but I do depend on my Tobii I-12+ basically 24 hours a day, and I love it. I was given an older version Tobii by a speech...

    Trouble with Tobii Dynavox

    I have a very simple suggestion which may help. I know my fixation on my Tobii bounces all over when my eyes are dry. Not sure how cold and dry it is now in Tennessee, but up in northern Michigan, humidity in the house is very low this time of year. Hope it is something as simple as some...
