I attended the match yesterday (8/16) thanks to the free first visit ticket program. I got two tickets in section 109 for myself and my mom. Our experience inside the stadium and during the match was really awesome; we had an absolute blast and would attend another game if possible.

The biggest issue I have is with the rideshare accessibility.

We decided to take the train down from Universal to 7th/Metro and take rideshare to and from the stadium. My mom uses a cane and has limited mobility.

During arrival and departure I selected BMO Stadium Rideshare as the location but had issues after the rides had already been requested.

The Waymo there was super fun until it pulled over and let us off at 37th/Fig. I couldn't get us any closer for drop off. So we had to walk about a third of a mile to actually get to the stadium entrance.

After the match we got a wheelchair escort for my mom which took us to the South East exit that was designated for rideshare service. Inside the stadium there was signage indicating this and also a sign in that general area which said it was for pickup/dropoff.

I attempted to hail an Uber but the driver was sent to the Subway/711 shopping center at Fig/MLK. First driver ended up cancelling since he couldn't figure it out and since it was our first time I had no idea how to direct him to where we were waiting.

I got connected with another driver who was sent to the same place. After talking to him on the phone he figured out where we were but he had to physically move traffic cones to make a U Turn and pick us up. By that time the gate at the driveway was closed.

Not once did we see anyone successfully picked up at the rideshare area.

I understand that most people can go across the street and be let off. But considering my mom's limited mobility that was not an option. During the whole ordeal I tried to place a pin on my location and could not place it anywhere in the stadium's perimeter. There was no staff to help us figure this out.

Again, we had a blast at the match and would love to visit again. But if we have to walk that much it is completely prohibitive and beyond frustrating from an accessibility perspective.

(I have reached out to both the stadium and the ACFC through feedback/surveys)

I discovered these wipes after a long hospital stay. They are the best! I love the smell, the texture, and it actually cleans. I tried Wonderful brand and while the smell was great the wipes weren't very durable.

But it looks like they aren't making this specific type anymore. I only have one package left and can't find them anywhere.

Is there any equivalent to these? The other Honest wipes don't appear to have the texture of these.

Hello fellow GBS and CIDP buddies!

I (early 30s/F) was diagnosed with GBS in Fall 2024 after being admitted to the hospital. During my 9 day stay I underwent 5 sessions of plasmapheresis which definitely halted the progression and made me well enough that I could be discharged.

Since then I have had PT and I'm on 900mg of Gabapentin daily (which, tbh, I don't always get my full dose of for various reasons). After some testing and lack of progress with my neuropathy I was prescribed IvIg by my neurologist. That was in late March and I began my treatment early April.

Going into this treatment I had no idea the intensity. I am scheduled to get 3 days of Panzyga every month for the next year.

Now, this treatment has been kicking my ass! It's 500-550ml of IG administered over 5-6 hours, 3 days in a row. Beyond that I have fatigue and general lethargy for a few days after. It's really hard for me to schedule work during this.

Has anyone had success in getting disability while receiving IVIG? I already submitted my form to my neuro but I'm worried it won't come through and I'll be screwed.

Just looking for any advice/experiences anyone has to share!
