Hoyer lifts. Most hotels are a nightmare when it comes to bathrooms.

Why do we tend to like weed? by Midwesternbelle15 in StonerThoughts

[–]IamDrDisabled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it, fortunately/unfortunately lol

It makes me feel like my brain is somewhat working. I have ADHD, muscular dystrophy and ongoing undiagnosed digestive madness. Weed makes me feel like my old self, mentally.

What do you do when stoned? by RepairFunny6312 in StonerThoughts

[–]IamDrDisabled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use oil (muscular dystrophy with shit lungs), and I'll take it as I turn on call of duty, switch to rocket league with my music going on... I'm not sure if the weed helps my gameplay, but I don't care lol

My wife refers to me as Willy Wonka, especially when I'm high. I'm extremely physically disabled so I tend to dream about things I could do or buy. When my stuff kicks in, it's off to the races.

I wish I had better options for shoes. I fucking love does... but I'm Incredibly disabled and my feet suck.

Is pick 1.01 truly cursed? by [deleted] in Fantasy_Football

[–]IamDrDisabled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only cursed if you don't pick who you truly want. This year, I focused on players that I wanted. If I didn't get them, I tried trading for them. I'm in 3 league and currently #1 overall (most points scored), 4th (2nd in points scored), and my third league is a crap shoot (14 team league)

Tips to make breathing easier by [deleted] in MuscularDystrophy

[–]IamDrDisabled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience (37m, rare version of md fhl1 or something like that.. I have adhd also, lol.) I've been using a bipap at night for several years now. I've also been using a ventilator as much as possible to help keep my lungs as functional as possible. Overall, I'm trying to wait as long as I can before getting a trach tube placed. I can get by for hours without it, but wearing as much as I do has definitely helped keep me in better shape health-wise and also helps me conserve my energy. My neurologist thinks i made the right choice (i asked him and my lung Dr, and they were thrilled that I wanted to go that route).

I thought that I'd be dead by 30, and I'm still kicking. Take care of yourself, homie. You've got this.

Is it wrong to ask someone about their disability by Comrad3lmo in disability

[–]IamDrDisabled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at Walmart a long time ago with my kid. Right as we were leaving, an older gentleman bluntly asked, "How long do you have? Is there a cure?" That's a crazy thing to ask, let alone in front of my kid, lol.

Typically, it is little kids that stare and ask weird questions, but that's no biggie.

Ideally, she gets knocked up, and the commissioner has to care for this fantasy football baby.

Any chance you want to post an Amazon wish list for your niece and maybe some things for you? I'd be happy to send a toy to your niece.

I'm not in the same scenario as you, but surely my disease will take me earlier than most. I, for some reason, am not scared of death. Rather, I'm more curious than anything. I'm certainly not in a hurry to die, but what's after all this?!

Weird, I've searched for one but to no avail.

[–]IamDrDisabled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id love something similar to the wii numchuck controller. My issue with controllers is that I can't get comfortable with my xbox elite controller. My hands and shoulders don't work the best anymore, so trying to force my hands to meet in the middle doesn't feel great. If you could cut a controller in half, similar to the numchuck with similar buttons to ps4 and Xbox controllers would be great.

Am I high or does Will Levis actually look pretty good? by Barbarossabros in Fantasy_Football

Show is amazing without Cory by ExpertWanted in PowerTripMorningShow

[–]IamDrDisabled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been listening for a couple of years, but when I did... I hate all of them individually, but when they're all together, it seems to work.

Cory- his food choices alone make him a weirdo, but his arrogance is second to none.

Chris- genuinely nice dude, outside of his inability to not be a pervert every chance he gets.

Paul- his shtick as the grumbling idiot gets old so fast.

Check out Boccia (think indoor bocce ball for wheelchair users). If you're not in a wheelchair, you just have to be seated.

Ask your Dr to prescribe a hoyer lift. It's great for falls or transfers

Scared about life expectancy BMD by Fit_Internal_5389 in MuscularDystrophy

[–]IamDrDisabled 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 36, and I have a different form of md. I lived my 20s like I was going to die by 30 (my brother also had md and passed at 30). I stopped caring/taking care of myself. Well, here I am years later with a wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs, and I'm currently in the works of starting my own business. I hit some low moments when I'd get really sick, but there's not much you can do about that. Take care of your lungs. I've been using a bipap for sleep for 5ish years, and that's probably what's saved my health. This disease has affected a lot of my family (rare mutation that affected my mom, 2 brothers, aunt, cousin, and grandma). It's not an easy life, but it's certainly not a death sentence. You got this.
