Hi,

You have a disabling disease there is no much we can do to treat the primary illness but there are many ways to make your life easier and get you on your legs and able to walk. The prosthetics availabile these days will help you for sure plus there are multiple automated wheelchairs that are so user friendly that you would not require anyone else’s assistance.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
