Hi Leah.  This is good to know.  Thanks for sharing.  I have been taking a cleanse more pill daily for about 10 years.  It is all natural and a non stimulant.  I have often thought about switching to Miralax but I cannot seem to make myself start a new regime when something else is working.  However, there are other GI issues that have me… Read more

So glad you shared this story.  I have LGMD and would like to reach out to Ralph Yaniz but not sure how.  I am not so tech savvy.  I want the lawmakers to reinstate the option for those disabled people that work the option to buy Medicaid as a secondary insurance to cover PCA services.   That is how I paid for PCA until it was removed in 2014… Read more

My oral B electric toothbrush works good. I have to lean on my upper body on my wheelchair armrest and hold one hand up with the other hand but I manage. If my hand… Read more

Does BLU work good for you?

Thank you for sharing. I use a rechargeable toothbrush but I am going to get a BLU and see how I like it. My shoulders are really weak so I have some difficulty brushing my teeth even with the rechargeable.

      I really never thought about disability pride or being proud of my accomplishments until recently.  Like you Dani I have just tried to navigate through life the best I can.  While this amazes and inspires some people–that I work and drive and have been well cared for–I feel I am doing normal things-certainly nothing special. I have recently… Read more

I work for Disability Determination Services for the state of Louisiana. We use Social Security’s rules and regulations to determine disability.

I have been dependent on a motorized wheelchair since 2005 (age 35) and really needed it before that, but I think we should do what we can until we can’t and I have had great support from my parents. I have worked for the same organization for about 23-24 years and work from home as needed since 4/2019. I… Read more

          I agree.  Does anyone know if there are any trials for LGMD type 2A.  I saw one for type 2D.  Why did they choose 2D?  It appears 2A is the most common type because more people have it.
