It is probably my fault. Like the rest of you know if you get behind it can be a struggle to catch up. We are struggling with bathing, and getting me up if I fall. It is a lot harder than it should be but we are still getting by. I can still make transfers and walk short distances, but when...

Hello everyone
I'd love some advice from pals and cals out there who have opted to get a standard electrical bed instead of a hospital bed
I thought I'd better ask before forking out good money for it

This diagnosis is worse than having a bucket of ice water tipped over your head.
The detail of this sticky can be summarized by these steps which are not necessarily in the same order for everyone:
1. Absorb the shock
2. Find support systems
3. Tell people as appropriate
4. Put legal affairs in...

Hello,
First time poster here. I'm writing now because of the trouble my left leg has been giving me over the course of the past year.
I'm 18, which is far younger than the mean age for this disease, but my symptoms are cause for concern, in my own opinion. So let's get into those...
