Any suggestions you read should be taken up with a doctor. I recommend diazepam for the muscle spasms but you can't take it before a bowel movement. It slows peristalsis as do many other drugs. Diazepam is a helpful drug in that it helps with anxiety as well as spasms. It is addictive, but who cares. A quads life is centered on addictions that let you live a productive life. I do my bowel regime in the mornings before taking any drugs. I also take acidopholus twice a day to keep the good bacteria working for me. I drink my coffee with POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL (PEG) 3350 - ORAL (paw-lee-ETH-ih-leen GLY-coll). This is just hydro-dynamic plastic. It is non-digestible. It bonds with water and keeps your system from removing all the water before the stool gets to your bowel. More moisture in your stool can relieve blockages and help avoid hemorrhoids. I have never had any side effects which are rare. Daily exercise is important. Whatever muscles you can work, do it. Try to eat a diet rich in greens and low in calories.
I wish you the best of luck and send my prayers. john ________________________________ From: Tod E.

It looks like that address should be: _ www.nhif.bg _ (not .bq) And please remember, like several of us here have said, we are not doctors. We can only speak from our own experiences or what we have heard from others. There is no substitute for good medical advice, the recommendations of a couple of doctors who agree on a certain course of action, and the opinions of a professional community (like that website might help you find). I understand good medical help for quadriplegics might be difficult to find in Bulgaria. But it sounds like you have some good resources to possibly get the personal attention your case needs.
