[jimeka]

Thank you for sharing, I will look into it

[jimeka]

I have just googled it, and wow if it works, it would help a lot. They have one for the hand as well and they have outlets in the uk. I am going to give them a ring tomorrow , see how much it is, hopefully I can afford it. Again thanks for sharing.

I have high hopes!! Monday I get to test it out... Everything happens for a reason! I'm excited. I can't wait to tell you how it goes. I pray it'll work for you too.

[jimeka]

I will look forward to your comments. How much is it in the states, if you don't mind me asking?

[Kj9681 in reply to jimeka]

I don't mind. I'm not sure. They did inform me that my insurance would cover it at 80-100%...praise God. I intend on obtaining all the info on Monday. I will keep you all updated.

I have had another go at Google and it came up with another devise called Walkaide. Made in the uk, all these years and no one has ever mentioned it. I will be thinking and praying for you for Monday.

[Kj9681 in reply to jimeka]

I've known about the Walkaide and I've not been able to get them to contact me. I've been filing out the applications all year to no avail. Thank you...

[jimeka in reply to Kj9681]

Will let you know tomorrow if I am able to contact them.

Bioness called me back in less than an hour... 🤔

[jimeka in reply to Kj9681]

Speaks volumes!

[Kj9681 in reply to jimeka]

My thoughts exactly...

[Fancy1959 in reply to jimeka]

Jimeka, it's Fancy. Get your neurologist to send ypu

[jimeka in reply to Fancy1959]

Hi Fancy, I live in the uk, so please excuse my ignorance, but what is ypu? Thanks Jimeka

[Kj9681 in reply to jimeka]

I think that was a typo...^you

[jimeka in reply to Kj9681]

Ok thank you. I go to my neurologist November 10th, so I will put it on my list to ask him

[Fancy1959]

Jimeka, you are not, or ever will be ignorant, That is a typo! Someone stold my 10" notebook out of the front seat of my car and i am struggling to respond to post on my smart phone. Tha keyboard and screen are a lot smaller! LOL, I 'm getting old! What i wanted to ask you was if you could get neurologist to send you to physical therapy. Once they evaluate how you walk they will start trying on different walking braces and devices that will help. The beauty of doing it physical therapy is you have an expert evaluating what works best for you. Then you get to try on different types of braces before the decision is made you should get. It's well worth your time to get into a physical therapist for you purchase Annie walking brace or aid. I hope this is clearer. Please keep us informed of your progress. Keep fighting MS Warrior and remember together we are stronger! Take care, Fancy1959.

Morning everyone...I've been using the Bioness L300 for almost 1 1/2 yrs now & it's been God sent....my insurance didn't pay for it I'm still making monthly payments but they do have affordable interest free plans to help you out....thanks to this wonderful gadget I'm able to work as well as move around on my own without constantly tripping thanks to my foot drop...it is pricey but well worth every penny

[Kj9681 in reply to ckf8687]

ck8687, I have my unit! Would you care to share more with me? What type of therapy was best for you?

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to ckf8687]

Hi ckf8687 so glad to see you joining us on the best chat ever! Even if it's for this roller coaster ride they call MS. How long have you had foot drop? I have had mine for about 7 yrs now buy my neuro says it's not related to my MS. Maybe because of my back? Maybe because of nerve damage? Maybe because of my neck? Actually had one dr tell me because l was to skinny? WTF? Maybe, Maybe, Maybe, it doesn't change what it is lol.

Welcome to the chat. As you can tell we talk about pretty much anything and everything here. But most of all support each other.

Ps this is also a great place to vent if needed. We are all in the same boat here.
