I don't know about anyone else. But that does happen to me too. I am a c6-c7 incomplete. My AD sometimes will make my blood pressure elevate but sometimes I get only the sweats w/goose bumps. If someone knows why this happens let me know too. _____ From: Wendy Sell <[email protected]> To: Kandy Vogelpohl <[email protected]>; quad-list <[email protected]>; Dr. Yurko <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 6, 2009 6:34:18 PM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] Goose Bumps & Sweats is this AD?

Good Morning, I am trying to figure out if my husband is having AD episodes.... I know for sure he had one when he was in the hospital because his blood pressure spiked, and I know it was from a kinked hose into his cathetor. So I am always checking that.... What I am wondering is that my husband breaks out in sweats around his shoulders and head, but then will have goose bumps going down his forearms. But his blood pressure is never elevated. Can he have AD without the blood pressure elevation? He gets so many of the symptons except that. Thanks for your help. Kandy (Wife of husband - C-4 Complete Car accident 2008. (My husband was hospitalized for a year. I just got him home a month ago.) I could use any pointers anyone has to offer.
