Does anyone know of a neck brace that actually works and doesn't hurt or irritate the chin? My father's chin touches his neck, so that makes eating, conversation, etc. difficult. He doesn't seem to have bulbar symptoms, but he can't hold his head up. We tried a neck brace that the doctor recommended, but he could only stand it for about 30 minutes, and now never wears it, although having his head down makes him miserable and sore. The skin on his upper chest and the under side of his neck is very irritated from having them touch all the time. Anyway, I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions. MH
