Accessible hobbies for ALS?
Once my ALS symptoms set in and made my hands and fingers feel and move stiffly, I found I could no longer pursue my hobby of “trying out all things in the fiber arts.” Embroidery, painting on fabric, and even holding a hot glue gun steady became impossible. But I couldn’t give up being creative, so I adapted and now knit – very, very slowly.
That got me thinking: if I struggled to find new ways to enjoy my hobby, other ALS patients must be too. Maybe we could all share what we’re into and inspire each other to pursue new accessible passions?
