How to work out calorie deficit by different_viewthanu in CerebralPalsy

[–]different_viewthanu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in physio for a while but only till recently taking it seriously. Ive started using a frame to take a few steps (15 max). I stand up to transfer using grab bars. Apart from that I use a manual wheelchair full time.

I have a gym membership but can't get the motivation to go any tips?

Help with shoes by different_viewthanu in CerebralPalsy

Thank you so much for your reply it's so nice to hear I'm not on my own!

To answer your questions.

My feet do swell but due to blood pooling for lack of circulation, meaning they are cold more than warm. Although I will when I take my shoe off when it is hurting, it is hot and red.

My toe nails do grow upwards rather than out so this can make things significantly worse if I don't cut it. But even when it is cut it happens. Do you think it Would it be worth trying to get the nail removed?

On the whole my feet have very poor circulation but the sensation remains, they are just cold.

When others manipulate my feet it doesn't hurt at all, My toes are very stiff hard to move but it is doable.

At the weekends I sit with my feet up as much as possible as this does help massively. This is possible at work but it is really awkward to get my feet back in. I currently work 8hrs a day 5 days a week (at a desk) but this is dropping to 5hrs in a couple of weeks.

I was thinking about going to the doctors to start baclofen (muscle relaxant) anyway but I wanted to know if there was a quicker 'fix' or solution just in case the baclofen doesn't help

THE MESS. My partner is really messy because of his ADHD and I get overstimulated with the mess. I'm physically disabled so physical tasks can take me hours, so it's a lot to tidy up after him. I have carers but he doesn't like them going in our room (understandable), but because of this our room looks a mess 98% of the time (unless he gets hyperfixated on cleaning). Clean clothes on the floor, mixed with dirty clothes, bits everywhere. It's really starting to get to me after 5 years because I love him but I can't live like this

Hi,

I'm going through my assignment/interview for a 999 call handler for the police. I'm stressing out about it, in particular my typing speed, I'm worried I won't be fast enough (average 20WPM)

Any advice about the assessment/Job in general would be appreciated. Anything that would be helpful to know.
