Happens a lot to me. Especially days when I leave my binder off.
I get lightheaded a lot and it gets bad then.
But it can happen any time. Usually when I'm tired.

You guys ever have days that you feel unusually weak? I have days,
like today, that I can barely hold my arms up. Don't know why.

I use to get so dizzy after eating. It went away on it's on but it was so bad, 
it only happened if i hate before about 5.p.m. I went to lunch with my mother 
once close to home. On the way home I had one traffic light. I could feel it 
coming on, I couldn't really see what color the light was. Had to pull over for 
awhile. Blood does rush from the brain to the stomach to help in digestion. 
Someone told me this, not a doctor.But my issues quit. It lasted about 6 mos
Dianna p.s. might want to wear a binder.

Re: [QUAD-L] new chair

2015-05-02 Thread diannal767
i sure will! my problem is i ALWAYS gotta watch sidewalks or uneven terrain 
because my driving bolt gets stuck. :-(
i'll let you know about gravel though because my other chair got stuck in deep 
grade gravel. this one has wider wheels.


If you're ever forced to use it outside in uneven terrain (sand or
gravel)
would you let me know how well it does?

 Hi,
 I got my new chair yesterday. It's a
Quatrum Q6Edge series. I really *will*
 like it. Having trouble getting the
back adjusted correctly. I feel like its
 trying to push me forward. My peeps
can see it do so. between the wheelchair
 tech and my Dave, they think a wedge
under the cushion will help. I recline
 it back a tiny bit and use it like
that for now. can't stay this way because
 I can't get under things. and I'll
be driving in it. 25 yrs in a chair in
 june. My first tilt, my first with
lateral support and no canvas back. I
 chose silver and the wider wheels so I
could get the *chrome* wheels i
 wanted. not worried about terrain so much
because my driving bolt for the
 E-Z lock catches everything.
