Hi,
My name is Anne. I'm a C2/C3 quadriplegic due to a spinal cord injury. For the past 17 years I had been using a noninvasive ventilation system in order to breathe. But recently I had to be hospitalized and trached. Adjusting to life on a trache has not been easy for me, and I am desperately looking for another solution to my breathing problems. I am seriously considering the diaphragmatic, or phrenic, pacemaker and would love to speak with someone who has one. Please write me if you can help  .

Hi Anne,
I hope you are able to connect with someone on our community about this, I did some research for you and wanted to include some information on Diaphragm Pacing Systems, please check out the links below. I would also speak to your doctor about this as well.
