Re: [QUAD-L] Baclofen pump
I have had great results with pump. It is best thing could have ever happen to me. But last year the incesion did reopen and I was rushed to hospital. I had to replace it, but had to wait two wks. Then i had withdrawels it was awful. I was very scared. But honestly only get it if you can't tolerate the oral stuff.

Another part of spasms is the lack of range of motion and I do range of motions almost everyday and sometimes twice. Being 6 foot tall personal-care would be almost impossible without it and to keep myself in my chair without finding somebody all of the time to put it back up a limb or two. I have gone a few days without them and then takes another 3 to 4 days to get my muscles to relax once again. I think changing positions either in bed or the chair can assist in cutting down the number of spasms. I have a tilt system on my chair and alternating air mattress on my bed.

Since starting the daily half dose, I have had 2 UTI’s in 4 years. Greg Hi group, I read some of the posts regarding the sweating problem. I too have had this problem and ran a bunch of test. The doctors where pretty stumped. I think that I have finally figured out that it's a UTI problem. When we sit up it puts more pressure on the bladder which irritates the bladder when it's already upset from the UTI. It causes pain and then we sweat. I take a daily antibiotic for urine and have no more sweating. I may be wrong but it has helped me. Good luck and great health, Donald C5

Finally on 3rd day there was no more spams, no more sweating, and I was a wake. Since then my stomach was hurting. Well the pain went away last night after a week. But I am soo sleepy. What do you guys think? I was getting 280 dosage thru pump now i have 320. I'm so faustrated because if i go bk lower pump i'm scared toget spams sweats back. But i can't continue to be so sleepy.

I can also relate to the pain. My doctor explained to me that there is no cure for nerve pain. That bacloflen and nerontin, stimulate a different pat of your brain to kind cover up the pain. But have side effects, fatigue, cognitive and memory laps or loss. For me, I am in pain from the moment I wake up until I fall asleep. I have to take Ambien to fall asleep, or like you I am up for days. What have for me that helps is water and exercise. A bath and a Chiropractic adjustment. Honestly, I need to work on the excersise part. Hope this helps I know how hard it is to focus when your tired and in pain, I will keep you in my prayers. Maggie C-6/7 One thing you need to do is before you even upped your baclofen was to find out why your getting the sweats n spasms, usually alot of times taking more medicine hides whats really wrong.(the sweats n spasms or A.D. is usually our body telling us something is wrong) I took myself off (slowly) but 60mg of baclofen from 160mg the only reason I needed so much at the time was cause I broke my leg. One thing about baclofen is it lowers your blood pressure and you need to remember also its hard on the digestive system and liver. It will make you very sleepy because its a type of relaxer. You need to talk w/ your doctor and see if there's something wrong w/ your back you might have done something to it and not realized it or maybe the way your laying in bed or could be your bed, but just taking more medicine is not always a good idea, your just masking the problem. Maybe try something else becoz thats alot of baclofen and sounds like causing more problems.

[QUAD-L] Denied handsplints
I have a question need some opinions on what to do. I was going to OT PT all last year. In July I got sick and was in out of hospital after that. There were a few times I had to call in and not attend therapies. When I was there I was working with an OT to use electric handsplints that would open my fingers up more and eventually I would be able to use my hands more since there pretty much closed. Well the OT suggested I get these splints for my home. Well I quit going to therapy because I could not commit to it once I was better because I had to come back to work fulltime. He lent me the equipment for my home until I could find out if a agency could pay for me to have my own. Well the agency approved me to get splints. Now he is stating because I can't committ to attending therapy he would like to hold off on me getting them so basically he won't see me to get the splint fitted with the company. I know how to use them somewhat. The agency who is purchasing them can only keep my case opener a little longer. My caseworker said he had no right to deny me especially after he was the one who requested I get them. She is trying to get ahold of him. These splints aren't cheap and I could never afford them on my own. So what do you'll think I should do?

Re: [QUAD-L] what a quad can work?
I think personally starting off as an operator would be great. That's where I started. I got use to being on phones and greeting people. I learned how to hand things too people quicker by just working the front desk. I learned to type faster and faster as time went by. Then I became that assistant. Now I do alot of data entry working with contracts, punching holes, labeling them preparing them to be filed. Could I do this 13 yrs ago nope I could hardly hold a phone or even write. Now I have to say my hand writting is better than many people I know who can write. I can grab the phones fatser than u can say boo. lol But it all gets easier. I not only work I also volunteer here in the city speaking to jr high high school students, parole officers, offenders about abusive relationships. I try to stay busy.

There is so many people who need these jobs mine could be one just because i'm not here all the time. But i could not imagine being at home not working. It gives me so much indpendence. I love my job. So too answer question there are many jobs quads/paras could work at. There are 5 people who are in wheelchairs that work here not including the deaf mail man, plus 3 amaputee's and the blind kitchen cook. I am a c6-c7 incomplete. I type with my thumbs grab phones when needed and all my equipment is all electrici. I learned to do stuff because i wanted to work. So good luck if your looking for a job. I think many people could work just a learning process. One day I will have to quit because of disability but wont be anytime soon. :) From: wheelch...@aol.com wheelch...@aol.com To: c5sc...@gmail.com; quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, April 3, 2009 9:04:44 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] what a quad can work?

Re: [QUAD-L] IBS Gastritis
Wow Merrill we do sound like twins. Because my stomach also hurts worse at night. The only long term pain med I have been on is Sufental and it's in my bachoflen pump. I have been very lucky and have not had to take lot's of pain meds orally. I am thin and so my stomach doesn't like to take much of any med's without getting all upset. I was in ER 5 times from January 20th till Feb 28th. I'm so tired of pain already and now when stomach doesn't hurt my back hurt's. I'm on dycline now.

I can be fine in the chair until I lie down or drink while lying down. Anything except morphine water! I know that in approximately ½ hour after going to bed that my bladder is most active, the first 4 hours is HORRABLE PAIN. Pain might travel but is mostly in upper abdomen.

But did sayI had IBS Gastritis and that I would just kind of learn to deal with stomach pain that comes along with it. Of course he put me on a new med which seems to help. I just can't imagine that my stomach is going to hurt like this from now on. I just want to know if anyone has this and if this pain is forever.

[QUAD-L] Pressure sore
Hi Gang, Well I'm sure everyone has spoke on this topic before,but I forgot. lol Anywho my question is what have people used that has been the quickest way to make a pressure point heal? I know being off it helps. Buttt I work a 40 hour work week so staying off my butt is to hard. I don't know how I got it because I'm always on the go. I think it was the fact I was in hospital three days I had to bug nurses to just come turn me. I also have a pressure point on my lower left heel of foot. I haven't had any pressure point in years. So does anyone know which dressing for pressure points are better. Should I go see a doc? Sorry if I sound so naive to situation, but I really don't get these. Thanks, Veranda

I had a DVT (deep vein clot/thrombosis) in 1995 that was encouraged by
surgeries. I was also very, very, very lucky to have survived it because I was
telling doctors (my neurosurgeon and his staff hours away) my symptoms and they
were ignoring them even though they were classic symptoms of a DVT! Hitherto
... I was not familiar with clots of any type so I was in the dark. It was the
Internet that saved my life essentially.
With what I described... they should have wanted to at the very least
eliminate the possibility of a clot since I just had two surgeries with that
doctor and that is a primary thing to worry about after surgery. But
noo... I thought it was probably just swelling and I should wear some of
those tight hose. QUACK, QUACK
I went around for about a month with my left lower leg very swollen and
very hard. I finally read an article on the net (I was very new to the
Internet back then and only knew how to look things up) and one doctor in
Washington state had an article about spinal cord injuries and folks with MS.
A sentence said If one leg is significantly larger than the other... it could
indicate a clot. All I knew was that a clot was not good but I had no idea
that I had a DVT whereby all I had to do was move a certain way to have it move
directly to my lungs to kill me.
The very next morning I called my primary care physician and I went to see him.
He looked at it and said I don't know... I don't think it could be a clot but
I will send you over to the hospital to have an ultrasound done. Needless to
say... I never left the hospital because it was a lengthy clot and I was in
immediate danger.

Went to urologist and had some bladder stones. That was last april then my dad got sick and I was not any pain like before I thought it was because stone was out and well I was too busy when dad was sick to even think of myself. After dad passed in September started getting sick again then I thought must be because I'm depressed not sleeping or eating right. Went to dr for a second opinion they checked kidneys and there fine, no stones, but back still hurts in the middle so bad. Ice at night helps a little, but not too much. Tummy hurts in middle in between rib cage symptoms just like UTI. Maybe there two different things. But does anyone have this problem? I just went to see a neurologist she running all these bone spine test. I have been in chair 13 yrs.

First off I will be driving soon for the 1st time in almost 11 yrs. Of course I've been looking at parking spaces. Many have no line's on side wanted to know what you do? Do you take up two parkings if needed? Or what? Second when going to a fast food line drive thru what do tell cashier to do if you can't reach for food from window? Third I am now going to be in a power chair since I can not transfer from chair to driving chair. I have always been in a manual since my incident occured 11 yrs ago. I noticed many restaurants have lower tables that my manual chair barely fits under at times. My power chair is a little higher. So how do you place your self when going to a table that is way lower than chairs? Then you have the foot rest in the way too. Well I know I sound dumb founded, but this part of my life is going to be all new. Your help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. for some of you who remember I was shot at 17 by an x-boyfriend.Well I saw him for the first time saturday since this happen. Wow you talk about wanting to have my electric chair then.
