      I have had a lot of pain due to muscle weakness of my left shoulder. My arm is too heavy for my sholder muscles and because of lack of movement iT became more painfull. I have a good therapist who gives me advice about range of motions. And iT works for me.

      What i dont Understand is why are there no developments for us pAls who have lost the  use of a hand or leg, there must be a lot of clever students in the world who can develope some kind of device for us so we can use that hand of leg again? Sort of an exoskelet?.

      Hi Amanda i was a nurse before my ALS diagnoses. Now i had to stop working it was not possible anymore for me.                             In the Netherlands the first persons to get the vaccine are all the medical workers and by some mistake they send me an invitation too. I will not accept this vaccine because it is ment to be for a medical worker and i no langer are. But if all went to plan all the people with diseases wil get the shot in februari so i have to wait a few weeks.
