I may be a quadriplegic, but I roll wherever life takes me. Except stairs.

In September of 1997, I became a quadriplegic after being diagnosed with Hopkins Syndrome. I now share my thoughts and experiences as a person with a disability Check back for updates!

100%. If we could remain seated and positioned in our chairs aboard the aircraft this would largely be a non-issue. I travel 1-2x per month by air and have a spare Permobil M3 exclusively for air travel. Scootaround and Global Repair Group often liase between the airlines and your DME but don’t be shy asking for the “complaint resolution officer” (CRO) who has additional training on the air carrier access act and is often afforded broader discretion to resolve your concerns. Also every single time take photos before leaving the chair, even a video stating “I am at ORD at the United counter this is my Permobil M3 on [date]”. Always test all actuators and seat functions upon arrival and report before leaving the airport

Hi, Gabe! My name is Cheryl. Wow, what an amazing story! I’m so sorry you’ve been through so much while still so young. I was in a wheelchair when I had Guillain-Barré, then again after Cauda Equina syndrome following a spinal injury. I currently use Lofstrand crutches or on a good day, a cane. I can see why they thought you might have Guillain-Barré - I remember them repeatedly poking needles in my legs when I couldn’t move them, until I reminded them, “I can still feel that, you know.” Apparently not many things affect just the motor neurons. But wow, you have been through so much and are just an amazing young man.

Yes, in the U.S. it is given to infants. Keep in mind some parents opt out and the vaccine may not prevent the infection in every child.

My friend...I think you are a lot further along than you give yourself credit. I actually have a couple of friends who are shy...painfully so, and would have a hard time not only meeting new people but also recording a video. You appear so well poised and conversant...I think you are an inspiration for not only others who might also be in wheelchairs but for people who are shy and have a hard time making friends. I think you'd be a wonderful role model...someone who is overcoming his fears and doing a great job as well. I applaud you.

So you had asthma, then basically got pneumonia, then one night you can't breathe so you get rushed into the ER where you go into a coma? And then you wake up 4 days later and you can't move? That seems odd. I've never heard of such a chain of events before. God speed.
