I never took it, but I can imagine at times it could raise blood pressure. if you just take 1 pill I don't see a problem arising. I never went dysreflexic over it it does make me urinate more though. my moms taking it to just for weight loss

I'm only curious because I've been trying not to take anything that raises mine for fear that I'll have an AD episode and that things that raise my BP will get me closer to something horrible happening. -Danny -------- Original Message -------- >Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Hey Ron >From: "RONALD L PRACHT" <r.pra...@sbcglobal.net> >Date: Sat, August 02, 2014 12:58 pm >To: <quad-list@eskimo.com> > > >Well, when I first was injured and came home I was weak as a kitten and needed >something to give me the energy to build myself up.

What really messed me up is after all my working out, lifting, wheeling and biking I developed a spinal syrinx then my appendix burst, then got a hernia. I believe that all those issues can be linked to my vigorous workouts. At the same time though when I went down in the hospital, I was able to come back because of the good shape I was in. I still take one ripped fuel capsule w/ephedra b4 a I handcycle or wheel. You can take it without working out, but it makes you a little jumpy sometimes. you have to buy it from a special website called neutri I believe, but I will get you the actual website. some people are scared of ephedra, but it is like anything else......if you take six capsules at once you will have a problem. They have another pill called a yellow devil which is more ephedra, but I wouldn't suggest that. > > >ron > > > >On Saturday, August 2, 2014 11:58 AM, Larry Willis <lwillis82...@gmail.com> >wrote: > > > > >Hey Ron, tell me about the ephedra for weight loss.
