[QUAD-L] frustrations with Medi-Cal and Medicare
I seriously don't understand how you guys live off this, I get 1400 a month and then I have to pay about 1100 for my share of cost. Luckily I'm not going to get kicked out for not paying rent but I am supposed to and that's beside the point. It gives me $300 for rent, food, utilities, and any medical supplies not covered. I think it's really screwed up, I'm going to call them on Monday and try to figure this stuff out but before I do that I would really like to know what you guys think? It's almost like I have no choice but to live in a nursing home, which I would imagine would cost more than what they give me a month. I live in Southern California so maybe that has something to do with my frustrations because everything seems to be a lot more expensive here than elsewhere. I really don't want to move because all of my family lives here, and they take care of me when my caregivers don't. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys have for me. I've been a quad for a little over three years now so I really don't understand the ins and outs of all of this just quite yet..

Re: [QUAD-L] pressure wound....need help
In responce to the sore; I strongly feel every quad should be on a low air loss mattress. Four unversities have tested them and concluded that it is the only proactive surface for healing and preventing sores. Call Hill-Rom and ask if they have a nurse in your area. The trick to getting the mattress seems to be in the paperwork. I had a stage 4 wound that healed up in 2 months and I still got in the chair 1 out of three days. There are no pressure points on a low air loss mattress and the constant air keeps the wound dryer but not too dry. Your bodies natural bacteria can work faster to heal the wounds. If your wound is filled with necrotic tissue, maggots can clean it out faster and more effectivly than any other debrieding action. When the wound is clean it will heal without involving a doctor. My nurse would put some Amish super honey in the wound when it needed it. (it has a name but I cannot remember it to save my life) It is called Royal Jelly. I have been getting bee stings for my knees hips and spine for about 3 months. I don't feel it but it costs $5 for 10 stings and I buy honey when I go. When my skin starts to get red areas I have my aid rub honey onto it gently until it is absorbed. Mollasses (sp) is suppose to work, as is processed sugar. The idea is it grows good bacteria faster by bringing oxygen and nutrients into the wound We all have osteo-arthritis. Our bones are chalk-like and cartilage is a joke. New quads should take Glucosamine-condroitin tablets from the begining. The trick to healing a wound quickly is to get rid of the dead tissue without destroying the good bacteria. Never let anyone use Hydrogen Peroxide or anti-bacterial cream or ointment. These products kill the good bacteria with the bad and in most cases the bad bacteria will get back in the wound and set you back months. Nurses, Doctors, and aids often carry bacteria from one patient to the next. Do not feel bad about asking them to wash their hands and use sterile gloves to examine your wound. If I was using the wound vac, I am sure I would want royal jelly in the wound to add oxygen and proteins needed for healing. The idea that a wound will heal fast in an occlusive environment does not make much sense when we have all seen cuts heal fast when left open and no pressure, such as graph sites on top of thighs. Those heal very fast with a mere piece of gause to promote a scab. Royal Jelly helps speed healing and reduce scars. Wound vacs seem to be counter to what we know about healing. If a wound is producing a lot of puss and drainage maybe the bad bacteria and dead tissue have not been cleaned out. Take probiotics now. These also help wounds heal faster. If you think I'm wrong then simply don't do any of these tips. My stage 4 wound healed in 8 weeks and I still got in my chair every 3rd day. Now I am under the radar to keep my low air loss mattress. I know many of you will get flaps and the doctors will buy new hottubs with the money they make on it. If you take large doses of probiotics and clean your wounds gently and use Royal Jelly you should see improvment in days. You can use the vac but I think it will heal faster if you simply minimize pressure on it. I appologize for rambing but I had a wound specialist that turned my stage 2 wound into a stage 4 and wanted to do flap surgery. I had to return to my GP to get the low air loss mattress. He has only seen pictures of the wound as it healed. When your wound doctor says those mattresses are expensive, ask how much he makes for the visits and surgery? If your life is centered on healing your sores then what do you rank your quality of life at? I've been to two wound doctors and both were like going back in time. The same treatments as they have used since WW2. They can use stem cells now. Why don't they talk about it? Do you think a person that wasn't handicapped would consider what you are going through as acceptable treatment? We are treated as though we are all the same. I have talked to quads that have spent over a year in bed. I cannot do that. I don't have a great life but what I have requires me to go out of this place.

Dan, it is how they keep us and our issues out of the way. I don't know about the others. Here in Ohio the ILC is almost down to an answering machine. Without money our influence in politics is file 13 letters. I dont mind doing stuff I can get under the table pay for. If I lost my waiver I'd be in a nursing home in a heart beat. I do taxes for tips at a couple local churches and family members. i try to keep costs down. I track what I spend on everything. 1100 is your share? I pay 35% for rent waiver picks up almost all other medical expenses. I put the money from undertable income on debit cards. $50 a month for transportation. I just budget it so I have a few hundred for gifts and cards. That $1100 share is a budget buster. I got to admit I have made money by begging. Maybe your family would back you if you learned to trade options. I know there are a few members of the group that dont just play in the fantasy contests for stocks. i wish you luck. john.

Now that I'm on Lyrica I don't have to deal with all of the side effects and it works great for me. I first started taking it at Craig Hospital and haven't thought about switching it since. I take it twice a day once at 9 AM and once at 8 PM. Daniel Espinoza 26/m/California Occupation before accident - Network engineer / SR.

I have taken so many pain meds to control it but never resulting in more than a few hours of relief. I just began taking a strong dose of Lyrica and it seems to be the key for me. I'm backing down the narcotics and it has only been a week but DAMN. I take 1 in the morning and I don't sweat or feel the presure that starts AD. I have not had a day without sweating and shaking for over nine years. I feel like I might have a life again. (knock on wood) We are all different and I know many of us have problems that it won't help. I will let y'all know if it stops working. It has been so long since I have felt this good. I want to goto the park and watch lovers and throw stale bread at the birds again. (I feel like I could really nail one, maybe even a lover.) I really wish you all the very best, john
