MS Diary | Friday, 1/12/24 | The booty cushions dilemma 

I work-from-home, on a computer. As such, my neck hurts everyday I sit at my desk due the uncomfortable eye levels. It hurts enough that I pop Ibuprofen regularly. 

I can alleviate some of the neck pain by sitting on stacked booty cushions to raise my eye levels.  The problem with that is sitting higher in my wheelchair causes more spasms, more spasticity, more pressure sore pain. The trade-off is awful.

This situation leaves me one result, one choice. PAIN but I control where; I affect the intensity. Yes, I'm grateful. I remember when I didn't know what to do. 

Now, I can do something about the booty cushions dilemma. Use them or don't but I have SOME say in this.
