If you use a wheelchair how do you find reliable transportation?

*edit* please don't comment about wheeltrans, my 10 year experience is in the post. I'm very happy it worked out for your friend/ grandparent/ niece. Please listen to people who actually use the service and rely on it

Today I'm missing another hospital appointment because booking 2 wheelchair taxis 24 hrs in advance spaced 15 minutes apart, while trying uber WAV and Lyft Wheelchair rides for an hour, is simply not enough for a disabled person to get an
accessible ride to an appointment.

While I was furiously refreshing Uber and Lyft, I thought to myself "there has to be a a better way to do this"

Wheeltrans is the least reliable, showing up ontime about 1 out of 5 trips. Many times I have been left "stranded"

So is there a better solution?
The taxi companies had no suggestions to prevent this. After years of nonstop repeated missed appointments and extreme stress around leaving my home while just trying to get to my medical appointments , I'm fucking tired.

Has anyone tried a scalp serum for oily scalp?

I can't wash my hair often enough to manage my seb derm due to a spinal injury in my neck, and am looking for something to help between washes.

Not looking for a miracle, just something to help my scalp reduce oil production even a little bit to help between washes.

Thank in advance

I can't wash my hair without further injury to my cervical spine , I don't know what other accomodations I can make. *Diagnosed CCI/AAI*

*edit* I have a scalp condition and need to wash my scalp regularily or I develop welts. I have met with dermatologists, there is no solution.
I have cut off 8 inches during my 1x year haircut everytime. it does not help. I do not wash my hair.
I o ly wash my scalpwi th shampoo. I do not use conditioner.

Suggestions? For years I've washed my hair in a neckbrace and in an inflatable basin in my bed with a personal support worker. I do this while in my neckbrace for diagnosed CCI, and it injures my spine further e dry time.

Neck hasn't recovered from the last 5 washes and gets reinjyred every time . I can't sleep from the pain and pulling.

Please any suggestions? I am in so much pain and need

Suggestions for an FA safe moisturizer for night?

I have a great moisturizer I use daily but it's super light and not enough overnight. Any suggestions?

Something calming or healing would be nice but happy with just a great moisturizer that won't trigger FA or other acne

Favorite peptide serum you've tried?

Im close to finishing my first bottle of medik8 liquid advanced peptides and I thought to ask around before considering a repurchase.

I've been impressed with th effects from medik8, and wanted to see if there are any options that are even more effective?

Peptides seem to agree with my skin really nicely and I'd love to see what else is out there. Only thing is I'm acne prone and need something that won't trigger clogged comedones and breakouts

Any TDX SP2 Narrow Base reviews?

Wondering if anyone who has this chair has any feedback. Mostly curious about the batteries but really interested in any info from someone who's actually been in it for a while

Everything is good for a week or two, but with regular use I always end up breaking out. My forehead is prone to FA, and the rest of my face gets really congested with clogged comedones and eventually breakouts.

Have tried Uriage cica daily gel which is still my backup but it's very light and was wondering if there are other options?

-permobil m3

Invacare TDX sp 2 (standard base not narrow)

Find that online measurements don't translate into real-life feel or the full space a chair takes up. My Permobil m3 trial felt like driving a tank

Thanks in advance

How do you manage prescription azelaic acid with very sebsitive skin?

Ive recently taken a break because I'm introducing another item into my skincare routine, and it's got me wondering if the az acid was doing more good or causing more sensitivity?
Using financea because it's covered for treatment of rosacea but Ivetred a couple OTC options too. I always wait 20 mins after washing minimum, and have tried less irritating options other than prescription

TIA

Tried cheese boutique for a nice big basket but their delivery window doesn't match hours needed for dropoff (nothing crazy just before 5:30).

Any suggestions that aren't quadruple marked up?

Would love a champagne gift basket but so far ive found it's like $150-$200 for a mini bottle with these companies. Doesnt need to be champagne basket though I'm open

Edit: I should've mentioned I'm looking for human derived growth factors (not peptides, not biotech derived)

Any suggestions?

Calecim recovery night complex is on my list but I worry about the smell (extremely scent sensitive andhave been warned it can be bothersome), TNS ceramide also looks good but I'm worried about breakouts.

Would love to try tns advanced serum but I just can't afford it, the Canadian price with taxes is steeeeeeeep

Is there a miracle product out there for me?
