Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Question Help
ASAP
I'm not sure what Extension is, but if you're talking about a
muscle spasm/tone I really don't think it's something controllable. I
would take the Dr's word over the caregiver's word. Blaming him is
perhaps their way of getting out of providing everything he needs.
Saying he's spoiled certainly does help get them off the hook, if you buy into
their theory.
just my 2sense,
River
Can someone explain to
me what happens when my son goes into TONE or Extension. It's something he
can't help says his Dr since he is mute and a quad since his Brainstem
stroke. Dr says he has 3 choices, laugh, cry or go into extension when he
gets frustrated.She says that too many electrical impulses go to his brain
at the same time and it causes it. However some of his caregivers says he is
spoiled and throwing a temper tantrum. There was a site where I could get
info about this sort of thing but I forgot the name of it. Help
please.
He is 41 and 4 yrs post stroke. Is there a medicine for
this?
