NEW ISSUE
Rural Life as a Wheelchair User
This story is for everyone who wonders about how wheelchair users live their best lives outside the urban landscape — and for anyone else who likes well-told tales. Editor emeritus and longtime farmer Tim Gilmer offers a colorful and insightful look at the draw, and drawbacks, of rural living for people with mobility disabilities.
PRO TIPS
The bad news is there’s no pill that cures muscle spasms for all wheelchair users. The good news is there are more alternatives to brain-clouding pharmaceuticals than ever. Richard Holicky talks to people with varying levels of spasticity to find out what works for them.
WATCH
2014 NM Person of the Year Jason DaSilva is back with a new documentary that chronicles his quest to understand why he got primary progressive multiple sclerosis. DaSilva used the pause brought on by the pandemic to reach out to family members, doctors and researchers to better understand the disease and any possible causes in his personal history. The result is a fast-moving, informative and optimistic watch for anyone interested in MS or DaSilva’s work. You can watch the entire film at the link above.
