Lost my legs and now both arms to Neuropathy.

Hi Becky- I'm a retired Occupational Therapist- please consider asking your PCP for an OT referral and make an appointment with the OPD at a Rehab Hospital near you . The OTs there will have the most experience with the deficits you're experiencing and will have sample items to try. There are ALOT of adaptive devices which can help make performing your activities of daily living easier and safer. Google and take a look at the Sammons Preston catalog- especially personal care and kitchen items- you'll be surprised! I have PN and use several items everyday.
Best wishes always!

Sorry it took so long to answer but I wasn’t receiving any notification for over a week. I was going to OT for over 2 months but had to stop because it was causing injuries to other parts of my body, like my spine. I understand what your saying but my body is so damaged from to many rare health issues and 2 near fatal car accidents. At present, my heart is so messed up, my doctor said I’ll die between the first half of a heartbeat and the second half and can’t guarantee me another second of life. So I’m just glad to be here till my hands and legs become completely useless and then I’ll be in a wheelchair I won’t be able to operate. Thank you for your advice, I’ll try to look up the link you gave me.
