OT and PT did help me out quite a bit; of course you have to want to to begin
with, both the patient and therapist. I remember thinking OT was just
senseless; but I soon realized that I like to eat, cook and be as independent
as possible, and that is what I learned in OT. 20 yrs. later on a cold January
afternoon; I will be chopping some ice and snow away from the grill so I can
cook some t-bones, and take advantage of the sunshine with our heat-wave of 30
degrees.... woohoo!
BTW- I have a tenadisis (spelling may not be correct) grip; so basically my
grip is poor at best, I'm all thumbs but can getr' done.

Hello everyone I am an occupational therapy student also just like marie and
tiffany hi guys we actually go to school. To answer the question whats the
difference between OT and PT is OT wants you and tries to help you reengage in
your prior occupations like school, work, selfcare. We even care about the past
lesuire activites that interest our clients. Pt wants you to build strength and
stamina, however, getting you back into your roles as a student, parent,
husband or wife etc... is not their complete comcern. In OT its the basis of
all our intereventions. does that help? what do you think girls.

when i was in o.t. in '67, they helped me work on regaining fine motor control
- picking up pennys, determining objects in a bag, building a little coffee
table, ...... none of which was very 'occupational'. can you share with us
what the current objectives in giving o.t. to recovering sci patients? i'm
sure a lot of us would be glad to share ideas on the subject.

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this group. I am currently studying to become an
Occupational Therapist. I just wanted to introduce myself, and see your
perspectives. Let me know if you have any questions about occupational therapy
and I would be happy to answer. I'm very interested in what everyone has to
say.

Hi, Yes I took baclofen for a long time when I was in High School. I have CP
and the doctor I was seeing then was for the drug for people with CP. In 1993 I
broke my neck and the had to go off it. I didn't have any side effect. In away
I wish I was back on it, because I have really bad -muscle spasms..

I would like to know who uses baclofen and the side effects you experience;
like hypotension (which I already suffer from), or any side effects. I took
this drug right after my accident in '88, but that was 20 yrs. ago and my
memory did not log any recollection of the side effects.
Below is a news link; a doctor claims it worked for his addiction to alcohol,
it got me thinking of changing my spasm medicine. I do not suffer from alcohol
addiction; but I take diazapam for spasms, and was going to talk to my doc
about baclofen for the spasms. I was just recently diagnosed with inherited
Cardiomyopathy; so I was wondering about any cardio side effects as well, which
I will find out when I have another echo cardiogram next week.
