 Oh, that would be so good, Gunny!  We have them for our supplemental but how and what do I do to sign up for what you have???
 
Also, my sis-in-law works at a clinic and they are saving the printer cartridges for me.  She said she has a lot and I'll be seeing her this next weekend so you'll be getting a package again!!  Hooray!  Jeanne

I belong to AARP, and all I pay is $4.00 for generic, and $6.00 for name brands no matter what the drug.

I am wondering who uses Power Wheelchairs on the TMIC?
I cannot use a manual wheelchair because my hands are bad.

Would you mind posting which chair you use, what you like or
don't like about it, is it good for indoor or outdoor use or both?

I am considering a Pride Go-Chair mainly because it is small
and comes apart for travel. (note: this is not the same as a Go-Go Scooter)

Also, is anyone familiar with the wheelchair provider Maxim Mobility in
New Haven, CT?  Good or bad?

Thanks!
Kevin

Invacare Ranger II - rear wheel, loved this chair and I was more mobile then
so I ran that thing all over and at 6-7mph.

Quickie S-525 - rear wheel, okay, goes as fast as I do now anyway

Hi Carol,
 
Late last night when I was reading the posts I was just about to ask if anybody had heard from Carol regarding Jim's current condition.  You must have known we were thinking of you.  Carol, is this infection the same one he has had for a while, or is this one new?  You and Jim are in my prayers each day.  I hope that Jim is transferred to Marlette Hospital - you seem to feel good about this hospital, and it is definitely closer to home which will be a positive thing for you.  Carol, please remember how very important it is to take care of yourself too.  My love and prayers to both you and Jim.

Subject: [TMIC] Update on Jim

Wish I had something more definite to tell but this is what I know for sure. Jim is still in the Select Speciality hospital in Pontiac,Mi. They are telling me he is almost definitely going to be transferred to Marlette Hospital which is only 22 miles from home instead of about 65. He has an infection which they are monitoring. I am pulling for this as I have very good feelings about this place. Please say a few more prayers for him as we will continue to for each of you. Our love, carol and jim TIAD

I had that banding feeling when I first got diagnosed 5 years ago also.  But with my second attack in January I didn't have it thank God!

I've had TM for five years and don't "expect" an MS diagnosis.  I've had the banding trom the beginning.  During one of my steroid IV's (first five days) I rang for help and told the nurse I couldn't breath and something was squeezing my chest.  It was painful and I asked her if I could be having a heart attack.   I still get banding on a regular basis, however, I don't panic, I work harder at breathing and hope its time for some Baclofin.
