Drink less? Prayer? Seriously, nothing I know of helps. Just one of the many problems to put up with!

It’s obviously Gods way of telling humanity not to populate inhospitable environments🤣
Live in England-we get two days of the same sheathed and it’s either heatwave , floods, a bit blowy out, or snow that cancels work, schools and trains! -

Don’t hurry-whatever you do, Don’t get dressed in the chair, don’t be proud and not ask for help, be prepared to struggle (it’s not really a big deal)

I have over the ear Bose ones. They’re about $160, but so comfy and look quite trendy, sound good too!

Ant Pinkie-Brown replied to the topic The Mystery of Sweat in the forum Living with FA 3 years, 1 month ago
I don’t sweat working out, but do when I fall over and have to crawl to the other room. It’s annoying because I feel like I’m not having a proper workout. But my co-ordination stops me going any quicker. Maybe I need to fall over more often!!

It’s a lottery! I usually say no egg and we’re golden. I do loose sleep over my buffet game, maybe I should be more demonstrative!

I don’t know where your reply went, I’m going to look mad replying to myself!
What is it they say-you need to know the rules in order to break them. That and kill all your darlings are my two favourite writing sayings. -
Ant Pinkie-Brown replied to the topic Needing structure in life in the forum Living with FA 3 years, 2 months ago
In general I’m structured too, but structure is only good up to a point. Artistic inspiration comes from an entirely different place.

Ant Pinkie-Brown replied to the topic Is Dark Humor Common With FA? in the forum Living with FA 3 years, 2 months ago
I call it gallows humour. Life in general is tough, why not alleviate things a bit by laughing at adversity?
Apparently, lots of folk with Fa find inappropriate humour funny. Is it a reflex we have? -
Ant Pinkie-Brown replied to the topic FAers Food Choices in the forum Living with FA 3 years, 2 months ago
I try and avoid having to cut my food, who needs the stress? I don’t mind people cutting my meat for me-there’s a lot worse about FA that you need to worry about.

Ant Pinkie-Brown replied to the topic Round Round Get Around, How Do You Get Around? in the forum Assistive Device Usage 3 years, 2 months ago
I mean days out really. I went into the city for coffee with friends in the manual, it took longer pushing around but exercise is good I guess!

Ant Pinkie-Brown replied to the topic Round Round Get Around, How Do You Get Around? in the forum Assistive Device Usage 3 years, 2 months ago
I alternate what I use. Keeps me strong (I hope). Any trips out is the electric all the way, but at home, exercising is virtually impossible with a powered chair. It’s strange, I feel people are happier if they see me electric, they don’t have to help me (not that I accept) and they can make tiresome jokes about my driving!
