    Denis replied to the topic Pets: How Do You Take Care of Your Pets in the forum Muscular Dystrophy Tips, Tricks and Advice 1 year ago

    I have three dogs and their unconditional love, tail wagging brings me great joy.They are for me a piece of Nature TG which brings wellness and fullfilment to my life I can’t take them walking anymore so my wife does that while I prepare their food and water.They say that people who have animals as pets can live up to 5 years longer, so thats a plus too.

    Denis replied to the topic Difficulty chewing or swallowing food? in the forum Muscular Dystrophy Tips, Tricks and Advice 1 year, 3 months ago

    After a dose of pneumonia I had to adjust my eating habits and the advice I got was eat alone, no talking ,eat small amounts and take a sip of water and swallow slowly also the use of a liquidizer was recommended for better swallowing.

    Hi Leah,

    Yes it can be boring ,I used to have a lot of hobbies but am not able anymore so I like to watch tv sometimes netflixs or satellite or cable ,I prefer to watch something with a good story .It a good form of escapism I guess.

      Danielle "Dani" Liptak replied 1 year, 4 months ago

      Yeah, I am thankful for Netflix and all other streaming services when I am too tired to do anything physically fun. Usually, when I am just sitting there watching tv, I try and do something nice for my body, like give myself a facial or use an oil diffuser while relaxing. But, when I am sitting and not moving, I need to remember to move around…[Read more]

    Denis replied to the topic People who are not vaccinated in the forum Coronavirus (COVID-19) and MD 1 year, 5 months ago

    This is a difficult one but personally now that the vaccine is available to most people, I believe they should get it. I live with my wife and three dogs so we isolated for almost 18 months before we got our first jab. When we go out we still wear a mask. Better safe than sorry. These days many people who end up in the hospital and die are people…[Read more]

    I often have bacterial infections especially with damp or humid weather I can get conjunctivitis where the glands get blocked resulting in a sore or irritation in my eyes. But the most dangerous ones are respiratory which can lead to pneumonia if not caught in time, I think bacterial build-up in the lungs can be caused by food particles going…[Read more]

      Danielle "Dani" Liptak replied 1 year, 5 months ago

      My physical therapists told me if I ever use a back brace, it should not be for extended periods because it could cause me to become weaker in the long run by relying on it too much!

    Denis replied to the topic Upcoming Movies to Look Forward to in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Muscular Dystrophy 1 year, 5 months ago

    Yes I love watching movies especially ones with a good story or a down to earth story . They don’t always have to be new ,there’s a lot out there that I missed in the past.
    I stream a lot from netflix and I watch a lot of detective series for example wallander with Kenneth Branagh .Tastes differ each unto his own.
