Book state taxe breaks

In some states (like Arizona) you can deduct some of the cost of devices that are deemed medically necessary by your doctor from your state income taxes. So in past years I have gotten script(s) from my neurologist for:

--recumbent tricycle
--a tall drafting chair (since I have bad akathesia and must stand or perch in front of the computer)
--gym membership
--massage therapy

My tricycle is my main form of exercise. I can no longer walk farther than about half a block before i get dystonia in my left foot. And while I still get foot dystonia while riding my trike, I can keep riding even with the dystonia.

PS I just reread the original post - I definitely need to pedal faster!!!
