Tammy replied to the topic Summer Must Haves in the forum SMA Assistive Technology/Equipment 1 week, 6 days ago
I have the same method unfortunately LOL. Wish there was a better way than ripping all of my clothes at some point but nobody seems to be able to do it any other way. I have to have them yank on my waistbands in order to get my hips scooted back all the way because everybody for some reason likes to put me on the edge of my seat in a lying down…[Read more]

Tammy replied to the topic How do you handle infantilization? in the forum Adults With SMA 1 month, 2 weeks ago
LMAO yes it’s like I said no dammit! LOL. But yeah sometimes it can be embarrassing especially if I’m with a group of friends. It just makes me feel kind of low. And I don’t like my friends looking at me that way, even though I know they don’t. But I’m like please, sitting in a wheelchair doesn’t mean I need to cut in front of everyone. I’m really…[Read more]

Tammy replied to the topic How do you handle infantilization? in the forum Adults With SMA 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Luckily I haven’t had this happen to me as an adult. But what does kind of annoy me even though it’s meant with good intentions, is people letting me cut in line in front of them. like oh you go ahead. As if like the “poor you” kind of sentiment. I usually always respond with no that’s okay you can go.

I don’t get irritated in the literal sense on my skin. but I do get annoyed when they put it all over the place like a wildebeest. I had to tell 1 to stop smearing it halfway up my arm after she’s done applying it LOL. Never thought I’d have to give…[Read more]

Tammy replied to the topic Should've Followed My Instincts in the forum Adults With SMA 2 months, 2 weeks ago
I’ve gotten to the point where I just let my mouth fly lol. And I make that clear to them now LOL. I have even said to some of their faces… You can feel free to do things however you like in your own home but in my home we will do things the way I like since it’s my stuff and my care. I’ve also even pointed out to them, I’m sure you wouldn’t…[Read more]

Tammy replied to the topic Alfamino Formula (AA Diet) in the forum Adults With SMA 4 months, 3 weeks ago
A little bit slow on the response but, I would not recommend (especially for women) everyday consumption of anything soy based. My PCP about soy based supplements & she said not a good idea. Supposedly soy contains estrogen like compounds called isoflavones. And some findings suggested that these compounds could promote the growth of some cancer…[Read more]
