LiezASMR thank you so much! I have, I wish I could get one but they’re far too expensive and the NHS doesn’t give any funding help for power assist 😩 maybe if I win the lottery haha!
I just saw your channel. If you do need power assist you could look into second hand things the Batecs or maybe a used Smartdrive. They are very expensive but second hand can be significantly cheaper. If you ever need it, that could be an option. I am in the US and UK so maybe access to second hand items is not as easy?
hello 12amnews. I'm a quad C5-C6 level from playing football. Let's subscribe to each other's channel so we can support each other. Have a blessed day.
I think she needs to move them just a tad farther away from the wheel and they will be easier to engage/disengage. for example when these brakes are off the chair completely they are easy peasy loose... its the wheels close proximity that gives it the strong hold. its taught to get them perfect have someone hold it in place and another person can tighten it exactly where needed. might take trial and error.
I am very happy for you. I need a wheelchair myself and this very helpful. Have you ever thought about a smart drive or some other power assistant. Plz help me
Lon Lon hi! I’m so happy this was helpful for you! I did eventually managed to find the funds to purchase a Smartdrive and it’s a game changer! I’m doing an event tomorrow with RGK that I’m vlogging so they’ll be a bit about the Smartdrive in that more than likely.
hello ive a question or you im currently going through hell trying to get doctors to believe me about chronic pain but how did you get your doctor to refer you for a custom wheelchair and did you pay for it yourself
cameron boyd Hi there, I’m sorry to hear you’re having so much trouble! Unfortunately i self funded the wheelchair entirely as I just didn’t want to deal with wheelchair services in my area because they’re awful! Maybe try some Facebook groups for your condition and/or chronic pain and see if anyone there can help you.
cameron boyd if you contact RGK they’ll be able to point you in the right direction: the cost can change depending on your needs so it’s best to contact them personally.
Chronic Fatigue is a SYMPTOM of something else being wrong. If you are going to dye your hair, PLEASE do your eyebrows as well. I have a legit question...how can people say they are in constant, chronic pain one second...and then you see their arms tattooed up? I would think getting tattoos is incredibly painful. Push rims. Nice chair!
this video is over 3 years old so please bare that in mind. Because i manage my pain, and also use numbing cream. Why should me being in pain all the time stop me from looking how i want to? Get the fuck outta here
@@peonypumpkin excuse me? That was kind of rude. I have a faulty immune system and they would have just diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue and left it there. Instead they went on and did further testing...and realized me being exhausted all the time was actually a symptom.
