Dysautonomia Sucks
I've blogged: Dysautonomia Sucks
A rant, then an update. It’s becoming more obvious to me that dysautonomia (dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system) is causing the worst of my symptoms right now. Which is a problem, as that’s things like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, urinating, and everything else the body does without thinking about them.

Clippers
The nail clippers are mounted upon a non-slip plastic base to provide stability and ensure the clippers remain still and steady whilst in use.
The nail clipper lever features an extra-wide moulded pad, which provides enhanced leverage, and spreads the pressure applied when closing to provide comfort to weak hands and wrists.
The tabletop design makes these nail clippers ideal for those with limited long-range visibility, and includes a built-in nail file that can be used with ease.
Cutters
The long loop, ergonomic handle of the long reach nail cutters ensures they remain steady and comfortable-in-hand, and the serrated stainless steel blade helps to grip the nail when cutting.
The angled blade head provides the perfect angle for trimming - helping to avoid unnecessary twisting or straining of the wrists.

Power wheelchair battery isolator for air travel
Immobilise electrical mobility equipment using two Anderson Connector end cap – ideal for air travel, the Anderson Connector is an economical and practical way to ensure your power chair or electrical mobility scooter is immobilised whilst in-flight. See below for product description below for details of how to use.
Available in 4 different sizes – fits most chairs, check your required plug size.
50A – May come in black or red
120A
175A
350A
The Aviation Authority now requires you to immobile electrical mobility equipment as standard, so it is important that you equip your wheelchair with an immobilisation device to ensure you can travel undisrupted.
This pair of two Anderson Connector covers fit internally to the SB-50, SB-175 and SB-350 wheelchair batteries, and features a wire lanyard which can be attached to the chair to avoid getting lost when not in use.
If these do not fit your chair you may return them for a refund.
Pack includes two caps, which fit most of the popular wheelchair batteries (eg Invacare).
Most airlines now ask power chair users to isolate the battery on their electric wheelchair before take off. The best and easiest way to do this is to plug in these caps. You need to disconnect the battery by disconnecting the two black leads as shown. The two caps supplied then fit safely and securely onto these ends.
When you have fitted them you can hand your chair over to the airport boarding staff at check-in or just before take-off. If you don't use these caps the airport staff may wrap the plugs with tape. This is very difficult to get off at the other end and may even damage your chair.
It was a lovely Easyjet steward who opened the powerchair to d/c the battery for me. All airport staff did was try to yank secure wires out!

Durable, weatherproof materials – can be used both indoors and outdoors
Innovative, multi-award-winning design – created to aid those with arthritis to open and close doors
You will receive 1 x Tru Grip left handle, 1 x Tru Grip right handle and 6 zip ties per order.
Scroll down for more information and installation instructions. 
Tru Grip is a door handle extension kit that can be used on almost any door handle to provide extra grip and leverage for those with painful joints and muscle conditions, such as arthritis.
Easy to use and easy to install, the Tru Grip is a long, durable handle with an ergonomic shape that provides better control when opening, closing or locking doors.
The curved, specially designed shape is large enough to be used by not only your hand, but your elbow, arm or whatever part of your body makes it easier for you to open the door - reducing stress and strain on sore, aching or damaged muscles and joints.
This multi-award-winning door handle is simply placed over your existing door handle and attached using zip ties, to ensure a secure, steady alternative to traditional, small door handles.

Quick and easy to install:
1. Place the Tru Grip over the handle of your door 2. Use a zip tie included in your kit, and slip it through the holes on the Tru Grip handle 3. Fasten the zip tie tightly around the handle, and trim off excess tie 4. Use at least 2 zip ties and ensure the Tru Grip is sturdy and secure before use

Dyslexia ruler reading aid
Designed to help people with dyslexia focus on one line of text at a time, reducing distractions
Dual function – can be used as a ruler too!
Affordable and ideal for children, and adults alike
Available in 5 different colours
3D printed in the UK from environmentally friendly PLA plastic
Scroll down for more information.
This simple but effective dyslexia ruler reading aid has been designed to help people of all ages who have difficulty reading.
The dyslexia ruler works by enabling you to focus on one line of text at a time, visible through the gap in the ruler. The rest of the ruler completely covers over the surrounding lines of text that you aren't currently reading, reducing distractions.
For a lot of people, this works far better than a dyslexia overlay, as an overlay doesn't completely cover the surrounding text, it simply covers the lines you aren't reading in a different colour. See a review below.
  "It really has made a massive impact. Before I brought this, a child I teach never could follow a book in class, they would always pretend to read. They were using an overlay but it didn’t seem to be helping that much as there was still too much text there. As soon as I gave them this, they could follow the book and even answer the comprehension questions showing that they understood what they were reading. Such a simple fix but it has worked wonders for my student!" - Teacher of a student with dyslexia.
At £2.50 with VAT exemption, the dyslexia ruler is very affordable, making it ideal for families, schools, universities or even as a gift.
Each ruler is 3D printed here in Britain, using environmentally friendly PLA plastic. PLA plastic is made from plants and biodegrades much faster than traditional plastic.
The dyslexia ruler comes in a neutral design with a choice of 5 colours, making it suitable for everybody regardless of age or gender.
Colours:
Blue
Black
Green
Red
Orange

Topple Tray single-handed serving tray
The Topple Tray is a new and improved design of the Tipsi Tray, it’s much smaller, lightweight and portable.
Weighs 750g
Scroll down to read more
The Topple Tray - a single-handed serving tray - is a new and improved design of the Tipsi Tray, it's much smaller, lightweight and portable.
Weighing in at 750 grams (26.5 ounces), this no-spill tray is 50% lighter than the original Tipsi Tray. The Topple Tray is easier to carry and more functional with a comfortable stainless steel handle.
Rather than removing the handle, the Topple Tray has a folding and locking handle that folds down on top of the tray and locks in an upright position simply by sliding the tube down into place. When folded, the Topple Tray is thin and easy to store and when the handle is upright, is strong and secure.
With the magic of physics, carrying drinks has never been easier and safer. Keep a spare hand free to hold a bannister on stairs, use a walking stick or mobility aid, open doors or carry other items.
It is held from above allowing drinks and food to swing beneath. The swinging motion of the tray counteracts the sloshing or movement of items on the tray keeping them completely balanced. Super intuitive with no practice needed.
The Topple Tray has a removable neoprene cover, which simply lifts off the grippy rubber surface for a metallic tray beneath depending on your style or use.
The Topple Tray is an excellent alternative to traditional trays for people with conditions that cause shaky hands or tremors, such as Parkinson's disease or cerebral palsy.
It also benefits those with a limb difference or has the use of only one arm, have been affected by a stroke or anyone needing to use a walking stick or handrail to steady themselves with one hand whilst carrying a tray with the other.
Watch the Topple Tray in action:
