[QUAD-L] Women
in case someone is new to the list Women's Survey - WE NEED YOUR INPUT PLEASE! PRESS RELEASEFor Immediate Release: August 24, 2006Contact: Jennifer Rodriguez, (O) 800-404-2898, ext. 282/ (M) 917-734-1608/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]United Spinal Expands Survey to Meet the Needs of Disabled Women Nationwide!United Spinal Association is seeking participants for a nationwide survey of women with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D). United Spinals Women Without Limits Advisory Committee developed a questionnaire on the specific needs, concerns, and interests of women with SCI/D as they relate to health care and health information, community resources, civil rights, and overall quality of life. The survey was made available to United Spinals female members in the spring of 2006 and is now available to all women with SCI/D at by visiting www.unitedspinal.org/womensurvey/An executive summary of the original survey was prepared by advisory committee members who are also affiliated with the American Association of Spinal Cord Injury Psychologists and Social Workers. Of the 177 survey respondents, the largest group was women with multiple sclerosis (49%), followed by SCItetraplegia or paraplegia (42%). A small number of respondents identified SCI related to other neurological disorders. As a disabled woman, I know firsthand the importance of this survey and as a result, the much needed resources that will be developed to assist disabled women nation-wide, said Wendy Crawford, Chairperson of Women Without Limits and founder of mobileWOMEN.org.Traditionally, women with disabilities have faced numerous barriers to accessing adequate health care, including inaccessible examining tables and mammography machines and health care professionals with little or no knowledge of sexuality and reproductive health care issues affecting women with SCI. About half the respondents (52%) stated that information and resources on sexual functioning was challenging to very difficult to find. A large number of women with SCI/SCD reported barriers to accessing the exam table/chair for PAP smears and pelvic examinations, and approximately one fifth of the respondents reported having experienced neglect of health care and being denied use of their mobility aid.United Spinal Association understands and appreciates the unique issues facing women with disabilities. United Spinals Women Without Limits Advisory Committee is comprised of a very specialized group of disabled women and professionals from across the country experienced in health care issues for women with disabilities. The committee is committed to enhancing the lives of all women with SCI/D. Additional useful information can be found in the Associations newest pamphlet, Womens Health: Special Considerations for Women with Spinal Cord Injury and Disorders. Copies may be obtained by calling 800-404-2898, ext. 278, or by e-mailing at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. United Spinal Association is a national membership organization for people with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D). Membership is free and open to all people with spinal cord disabilities.

Re: [QUAD-L] LYRICA
It is absolutely ludicrous these laws are still on the books. If they would repeal these laws I could eliminate 90% of my medication. It is absolutely wonderful at relieving spasms, or so I am told. The nerve pain in my neck would probably be diminished also. The only downside is I have no earthly idea how to obtain any and I am a little apprehensive about diminishing my already limited lung capacity, given that I spent four months on the ventilator.Quadius"David K.

US Mountain Standard Tim, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a cousin that's a cop, another is a deputy Sherriff and an uncle that is a captain of the guard for the Sheriff's dept' where they handle prisoners all day. In this part of the country pot laws are looked at as just plain stupid ways to fill jail cells. They could go set up a watch on a nightclub where extacy and coke are being sold in bulk to teens or they could bust the 40 yldguy sittin at home, watching cartoons, eating a twinkie. Pot is no longer a big money crime drug. So many people grow their own and theres virtually no violent crime attached to it. It is Kentucky's #1 cash crop. The reduculous part is when I see them smuggling it in from mexiico when everyone knows, Canada has the good stuff. The best stuff comes from basements and is grown using hydroponics. In any case, I don't buy it or sell it. An ounce lasts me about 6 months. If they choose to arrest me for it I'll cost them about $6500a day to keep in custody at a local hospital and I haven't got the money to pay a fine. The only reason pot is illegal is because a study done in the 1930's stated that marijuana made blackl and hispanic men want to rape white women. Thiswas also a time when it was illegal to marry between races in many states. Just think of all the space we would have in jails and prisons if we dumped that one stupid law and taxed the stuff. It isn't even addictive. The US government has not recognized any medical studies that show it has a medicinal value and has misspent billions of dollars eradicating a weed thats native to the western hemisphere while subsidizing tobacco and alcohol which are both addictive and poisonous.

When you get a dog like this they live with you and become part ofyour family.Our house is where all the family comes to eat and congregate. We have them over ever week or 2 to eat and watch a game or race and the dog comes along. When Jimmy needs to go places without the dog he will have a " play date " at our house. We have often said that the dog could bust us for all the meds we keep in our house. I bet he would let Jimmy know if I tried to hide some " pot " in this house.

Maybe we should all get together and form our own community and have our own laws. If the Amish and the polygamist can do it,,why can't a quad group do it ? It would be different. Kathy

[QUAD-L] Tax deduction
Quite some number of years ago I heard someone say there was a tax deduction if a family member was the primary caregiver of a permanently disabled quadriplegic. I remember the sum being around $10,000, but until recently I never had a family member living with me while they were serving as my caregiver. Has anyone else heard of anything like this?

Re: [QUAD-L] Tax deduction
I've never heard of it and I've done taxes for quite awhile. I'll admitt I've never had a relative as a primary caregiver, but I haven't seen anything that fit that description. You can deduct your expences as long as they equal 7% of your gross income. john In a message dated 10/24/2006 6:53:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Quite some number of years ago I heard someone say there was a tax deduction if a family member was the primary caregiver of a permanently disabled quadriplegic.

Re: [QUAD-L] LYRICA
Economics! Some quads have enormous settlements and are not particularly concerned with living problems that confront quads that rely on medicaid. I would like to see an assistive living center for quads. I've seen attempts to build them but the ACLU claimed it discriminated against people that suffered from other disabilities. Diseases like drug addiction and alcoholism, mental retardation, all of which when combined into that structure altered it into a handicapped slum where no aide wanted to work. If you can find one that doesnt use public money you can do it. john In a message dated 10/24/2006 4:40:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Maybe we should all get together and form our own community and have our own laws.
