Hello friends, I did have a check up recently, where I found my BP very low, 80/60. I understand, for quads it is possibly natural. But I have another thing to get alarmed.
Recently one quad (Cerebral palsy) died in my neighbourhood who was quite younger then me. Then I heard the news about Emmett, whom I know because of this list. He used to be regular participant around 2000 and a nice man too. All these events increased my anxiety. A kind of fear of death is bothering me at present. Sometimes I feel, if death comes it will be better, as still I am not that old. But things will get worse as I get older. Its better to go early. I know if any quad doesn't have any interest in living, he can give up and die gradually. Anyway, I am having "high risk" LDL cholesterol (160) in the check up. I don't know what to do. Doctors say, need to exercise and change food habit. As a quad I don't have much movement. I wonder, how other quads control their cholesterol ? I will love to hear from any of you. Please take care :-) Shahidul (46, diving accident, c5/6, 16yrs post) Dhaka, Bangladesh On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 5:48 AM, Lori Michaelson <lorilivin...@gmail.com>wrote: > > *EXACTLY!!!!! > * > > On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 3:53 PM, RONALD L PRACHT <r.pra...@sbcglobal.net>wrote: > >> Hello, >> I wanted to add something about drugs that some will disagree with.
