Page views: 743 With the first exercise, we have already relieved the affected nerve in the shoulder and back area. The next exercise is aimed more at the neck. Both exercises together bring about a considerable improvement. Ten minutes in the morning is often enough to get me through the day without pain. Firstly, bend my right arm. With...
Pageviews: 742 My exercises are aimed at calming the stressed nerve, which presumably originates somewhere in the spine, runs behind the shoulder blades to the armpits and then extends through the arm to the tip of the thumb. That was probably completely anatomically incorrect, but hey, I'm neither a biologist nor a doctor. I'm not writing a textbook here, I'm just saying....
Page views: 647 Dear diary, it wasn't long ago that I wrote something about how little pain I generally feel. Or at least I don't let it show. However, there were one or two things I failed to mention. In my last post on the subject of pain, I only touched on acute, or if you want to call it that, spontaneous pain...
Seitenaufrufe: 942 Mittlerweile ist meine Physio so ziemlich die einzige Gelegenheit überhaupt, bei der meine Beine mobilisiert werden. Das ist zu wenig. Und das merkt man. Ich verliere meine Beweglichkeit, meine Muskeln verkümmern krankheitsbedingt sowieso, die Bänder und Sehnen oder was auch immer da alles ist, verkürzen sich so stark, dass ich meine Fersen nicht mehr bis zum Hintern...
Pageviews: 915 To inhale me in the morning, it's best to prepare everything first because inhalation is really unpleasant and uncomfortable for me. So get the suction catheter ready, fill the Multisonic, get the mask ready to change, if you were planning to clean the nasal mask (which I put on after the inhalation), then it's best to do that now too. With everything I...
Page views: 731 Micro-positioning may not look like much in the end result, but if it is carried out properly and regularly several times a day, it has a whole host of positive effects: Unless I am positioned elsewhere, e.g. because of food intake, it really makes sense, especially to prevent the formation of solid secretions in the throat and lungs, to wake me up every 45-60 minutes to...
Seitenaufrufe: 919 Die Geräteeinweisung muss aus rechtlichen Gründen durch meinen Versorger (Vivisol, Kontaktdaten siehe Kapitel „Wichtige Kontakte“) erfolgen. Ich beschränke mich hier auf die konkrete Anwendung nur für meinen speziellen Fall. Anwendung Wie immer bei Arbeiten, die ein Abnehmen oder Öffnen der Maske erfordern, ist gute Vorbereitung das A und O. Lege Schlauch und Maske vom Hustenassistenten auf dem Bett...
Page views: 667 My typical position for the day. With my head on my right side, I get the best air and feel comfortable. It is also the only position in which I can at least talk a little. Ideally, I am positioned with two blankets on the left and right under my bum (see below). The thin 40×80 pillow goes under...
Page views: 646 Dear diary, what's this entry all about? I started it almost a year ago and then left it. It was a response to the following question in an ALS Facebook group. Good morning This disease does not affect me, but a good friend. (...) He can no longer write for himself and has...
Page views: 750 If I could... I would do everything myself. But I can't. Obviously. Otherwise we wouldn't be where we are right now. You wouldn't spend your time reading my confused texts. ? It's all the more important that I put you in a position to get my eye control working again when the system -...
