Physio exercise 3: Nerve-protecting positioning

Page views: 594 The third and final exercise in this series requires no effort at all, but is all the more effective. This is about positioning, which should ideally be done after the other exercises. As usual, I lie on my back with my head turned to the right. Normally, my arms are relatively parallel to my body. For this...

Physio Exercise 2: Underarm Decompression

Page views: 683 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...

Physio Exercise 1: Pull out the shoulder blade

Pageviews: 665 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....

Pain, let go.

Page views: 614 Dear diary, not so long ago 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 referred to acute, or if you want to call it that, spontaneous pain...

Surface and Tobii, alignment (positioning) of the stand

Page views: 596 Aligning the Surface is actually quite simple. In the status monitor, the eyes must be in the centre with a slight downward tendency. On the right-hand bar, the triangle must be in the upper, just green area. Important: The stand and the holder are never adjusted to position the Surface Tablet. And the infrared camera is perfectly aligned. Please do not...

Ella bella? Assolutamente no.

Page views: 733 Dear diary, if I worked like this. I'd have no more customers and would have been broke long ago. I would be ashamed of myself. I think that surprisingly often when it comes to suppliers and manufacturers of medical aids. I fully understand that the high costs of such products and services are not entirely out of the question.

Fascination Fasciculation & Cannabis

Pageviews: 914 Moin, it's one of those things with the radio. Pretty much everything is repeated all the time. People are only too happy to claim that there are so many good musical, factual or other editorial alternatives that could be broadcast. Of course there could be, but every station that does that hasn't made it into the mainstream...

Alexa, open front door.

Page views: 653 Dear diary, this is a really cool thing that I was finally able to set up with the active support of my sister. The hardware has been installed and connected for ages and three days. But setting up the various necessary apps has proved to be a little tricky on several occasions so far. The current...

No pain, no fun.

Page views: 708 Last time I tried to explain what changes occur to the nerves as a result of ALS. The bottom line is that I can hardly move anything anymore - keyword tetraparesis - but I feel and sense everything as I always have. And also want to feel. My girlfriend gave me a „scratcher“ for my birthday, a telescopic stick fork scratcher...

Don't hurt my feelings.

Page views: 829 Today, for a change, I'm not complaining about my care service or moaning. Quite the opposite. Today I want to tell you something about the real life of an ALS patient. Something you won't find in any textbook. Why doesn't anyone write about such things? Good question. Probably because it doesn't make any money and...
