How can I make my car easier to use if I have multiple sclerosis (MS)?

If you have multiple sclerosis (MS) many products will make your automobile more accessible, and thus make traveling easier, whether across the country or just across town. Here are a few I've found particularly helpful: If you need help getting in or out of your car, you can use a portable handle that straps around the top of your vehicle's window frame to provide a cushion grip. Because it is adjustable and not permanently installed, it can be moved to other vehicles (although it's not suitable for convertibles or other vehicles without an enclosed window frame).

You can use a super-strong personal support handle to get in or out of the car with ease. The removable bar inserts into a U-shaped plate that is installed on your vehicle's door frame. Constructed of a forged steel shaft with a soft nonslip grip handle, it can be used on either the driver or passenger side and will safely support up to 350 pounds.

Helping a weak or frail person get into a car with upholstered seats can be difficult. Try tucking a vinyl tablecloth or a plastic garbage bag into the seat. That way, you'll create a surface that's slippery enough to slide on.

Or, purchase one of the many transfer disks available through home health stores. To make operating your turn signals easier, install a turn signal lever extension handle. Easy to install without tools, the extension device can be transferred to another vehicle without damaging your current vehicle's interior or changing the car's operating system.

A seatbelt extender is a piece of seatbelt material about 8 inches long, with a buckle on the end of it that clicks into the existing seat belt. Originally designed to provide extra room for larger (over 215 pounds) drivers and passengers, it makes the seatbelt easier to grasp, pull, and buckle for people with arm, shoulder, or strength limitations. Unfortunately, seatbelt extenders are not a universal fit, and some car models do not even offer the device.

Some dealers will include the extender when you purchase a new car. Contact your car dealership to see if there is a seatbelt extender for the car you drive.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
