I haven't wore a binder since I was a fairly new injury.... some nineteen years ago. Running a low bp has always been an issue; but I feel more fatigue these days, and have lost weight since my full muscle flap/osteomyelitis in 2001. I am one of those quads who has gotten skinnier over the years; except for my biceps and deltoids, the only place I have much muscle. Maybe my innards are floating around more; due to the years of atrophy. Thanks- Tim c5-c6, 19 1/2 yrs. post My UPDATED quad site----> www.geocities.com/onemofortom

I'm the same also. I have to wear one or a bottom out, but my quad belly has started a matter how long I've been wearing it. It's not huge, but it's there nonetheless.

Those with low BP, have you tried wearing an abdominal binder? I wear one fairly tight. I works well for me. Still get dizzy sometimes, but not as often as I do when I don't wear it.

My doctor makes me go see him every month to keep a checkon it.Ive had it as low as 68/42.. highest I can get it without having A.D. is 102/78 and remember pain meds will lower your blood pressure too I take midrodrine 5mg 3 times a day...Also the doctor suggested to intake a lil extra salt it will help just becareful cause to much will cause more swelling/ bloating.

If I know I'm going to be traveling somewhere and I need to eat before I leave (have difficulty with hypoglycemia) I take ephedrine. I don't like to use it too often because it causes my heart to beat excessively. Once I am adjusted to being in the chair, sometimes can take an hour or two depending on how much I have eaten, I don't have too much difficulty, even without ephedrine. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about low blood pressure. Quadius ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
