How to contact Donna
Sometimes readers have a need to talk privately. If you want to send me an email about your MS or caregiver challenges or thriumps, I would love to hear from you. My email address is donnasteigleder@gmail.comPublic Service Warning: Do Not Purchase from Radical Mobility
If you are considering purchasing a 4-wheel drive wheelchair, please do not purchase from Radical Mobility. We bought one in 2009 from them. It never worked. We sent the parts to them to repair. They never returned them. We finally received the parts we sent them them this year (2015). Multiple customers of theirs have told us of similar issues. Please, do not make the same mistake we made. Look elsewhere. I'll share more if you contact me directly.

“I Know Someone With MS…”
When I tell friends, family, acquaintances, etc. what I’m up to these days (i.e., being a full-time caregiver for my husband while working full-time from home) it’s amazing how many people either have someone with MS in their family or know … Continue reading

Going Out Isn’t Easy
For most people, deciding to go somewhere is simply a matter of making the decision to go and then going. For people who are mobilized through the power of a wheelchair, that process is a little more complex. Lynn and … Continue reading
