I received the following request in an email from http://www.cdnpals.ca today...
Can anyone help him with some info?
Thx
I live in Edmonds, Washington and I have had ALS for over
three years, having been diagnosed in November of 2002. At this point
in my progression (I have limb-onset) I have very little movement of
my arms and legs. Since I can't move my legs, my hips ache after
about two to three hours of sleeping. At this point, I have to wake
up my wife three or more times a night to turn me over. I would like
to know if you are using either an alternating pressure mattress
overlay or a low air-loss mattress overlay. I would like to know your
experiences, the pros and cons, brand names, and costs. I have been
looking at alternating pressure overlays (2 1/2 inches thick) by
Tuffcare and Nova, and a low air loss overlay by Sapphire and
Invacare.
Thanks,
Kyle
