Physio exercise 3: Nerve-protecting positioning

Page views: 604 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: 707 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: 695 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: 625 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 forgot 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: 605 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: 766 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: 943 Hi there, it's a thing 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 this hasn't made it into the mainstream...

Alexa, open front door.

Seitenaufrufe: 675 Liebes Tagebuch, also das ist jetzt wirklich mal eine coole Sache, die ich mit der tatkräftigen Unterstützung meiner Schwester endlich mal fertig einrichten konnte. Die Hardware ist ja schon ewig und drei Tage eingebaut und angeschlossen. Aber mit der Einrichtung der diversen nötigen Apps hat es sich bisher mehrfach als nicht so ganz einfach herausgestellt. Das jetzige...

No pain, no fun.

Page views: 726 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 any more - keyword tetraparesis - but I can 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: 850 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...
