    Brian Stanfield replied to the topic Preventative Care After Being Diagnosed With ALS in the forum Living With ALS 4 months ago

    I try to visit the dentist twice a year. My dentist has a large room where they can clean my teeth without me having to leave my power chair – just a little tilt & recline. If  your dentist can’t accommodate your mobility needs – ask around for one who can.

    Brian Stanfield replied to the topic Do you change your eating habits when you’re out in public? in the forum Living With ALS 4 months ago

    Brian Stanfield replied to the topic Carbon fiber vs plastic AFO in the forum Mobility Aides, Assistive Technology and Medical Equipment 9 months ago

    Another vote for carbon fiber.

    I was fitted for a large plastic AFO shortly after my dx in 2003. I was happy with it at first, until I did some traveling and saw the braces that other pals were sporting.  When we got home, the first call I made was to the orthotist.
