Because of the condition I have, I am experiencing extreme pain inflammation and weakness of the ligament structure that supports the head and neck. What that translates to is an increasingly limited range of use of my arms and right now I am typing this with speech to text software.

I am seekinghelp with two things... one being any information that anyone can give me regarding treatment for this area... but the other being any information or links to sites meant for people with physical disabilities who are seeking alternatives and or adaptations to everyday life.

For example I have not been able to sleep on a flat bedfor several years... I currently have adapted my sleeping space with layers of memory foam that have been folded and tailored to hold my spine properly as best I can while I sleep. I very much would love to find a better and more"normal" method by which to do this... but no one seems to know how to find someone with expertise on making such custom adaptations

Now with this recent loss of function I am struggling to find ways to adapt to many tasks... I need more things on bad days, but even on good days I need to be thinking about prevention and making it easier on me

If anyone can tell me what type of expert or company or site I can go to to try to find the things I might need I would be very grateful

Thanks
