Hi Derrick and all, I am attaching a link for a column wrote for New Mobility about AD. The bottom line is any type of stimulus (pain or discomfort, or intense physical pleasure stimulus) can set off AD. Here is the link to the column and at the bottom of the article is the SCI Nurse hotline number. http://www.newmobility.com/2011/11/autonomic-dysreflexia/ <http://www.newmobility.com/2011/11/autonomic-dysreflexia/>
