Re: [QUAD-L] Covid and Vaccine
That was a great article, I didn't get the doctors name, but he was fabulous. Has anyone on the quad list had Covid and welcome to treatment to think. How do they go about getting treatment at home and not go to the hospital? I'm taking vitamin D3, vitamin C, zinc and I don't think my vitamin C have bioflavonoids. Those are the best to take the article said. I also take Vitamin E, vitamin B12 and a vitamin B complex, cranberry capsules my zinc is a prescription dose. I need to get a list of what I take and how much to compare with everyone else on the list. My problems usually come from kidney stones, kidney infections and pneumonia. When I get stones they will put urostomy tubes in my kidneys to drain. I had from June-August until they get exploratory surgery to look for kidney stones. They seem to have disappeared, the doctors could figure it out. My scan showed lots of kidney stones. They kept me in the hospital for the infection 10 days on a lot of IV. Antibiotics. Does anyone else battle kidney stones. I have a son ileoconduit that causes stones. I got this is a result of water cancer in 1986. Colon cancer in 2014, then I had to have my ileoconduit replaced in 2014. Did you know they wear out. The stoma becomes so small it will no longer drain urine from the kidneys. Thank you for the great YouTube was such an accomplished physician and researcher. I didn't catch his name. He would be a good one to follow. Did anybody write his name? He might be on Twitter. What vitamins do my fellow quads take. I need to make a list of the milligrams I take. I know what I take I just don't know the exact milligrams. That would be helpful if we compared notes. Thank you so much for the information given to me by Eric Olson and Jim Lubin. I am using Norco. I had trouble getting them started and . I am waiting on my next shipment.. So they are behind still. I never knew would be so hard finding a company that made suction catheters. I'd have the same company for so many years before they got bought out. The company they were sold to still keep sending emails asking me if I want to order, but they will never answer the phone. I would complain about their customer service. I don't know if it is the Medicare reimbursement or just lack of employees. Our local Hy-Vee while staying open until midnight but now they're closing at 11 PM. They have trouble getting personnel also. This country is really a mess. All we can do is pray. I was listening to my answer machine and I ran across the message from Lori Michelson. So sad to hear her voice and realize that I'll never talk to her again until Heaven.

Re: [QUAD-L] Covid
I didn't have a reaction to either shot (Moderna). Most of my other caregivers have also been vaccinated. Symptoms for them ranged from nothing to fever, chills, body aches, fatigue. All seemed to resolve within 24-48 hours. I only had 1 caregiver (who's a bit of a hypochondriac) say her fatigue lasted over a week On Mon, Mar 15, 2021 at 5:22 PM Danny Hearn wrote: > Greg--which one did you get of the 3 or 4 available?

Re: [QUAD-L] COVID-19, SCI and going back to work
*Stressing that this is my opinion:* I live in Arkansas and there was a full lockdown for a couple months. Following federal recommendations. I'd say early June everyone seemed to realize that if you're under 70 and don't interact w/ the over 70 year old population, then the symptoms and infection were no worse than a 3-4 day cold/flu. Everything opened up and has been since (restaurants excluded). So, I personally, do not feel at any more risk from this than getting the flu from someone (For my own reasons I've not taken a flu shot in over 20 years). I really lean on healthy living, eating good foods, and vitamins. (exercise when I can) Long path to my point: Your odds vary based on your lifestyle. I think 50/50 odds going to work would be true if you purposely seek out sick people. Everyone is a 'raw nerve' right now regarding this. You are probably safer than ever going to work.

Re: [QUAD-L] COVID-19, SCI and going back to work
I have lots of information, but I'm having difficulty prioritizing it 1. They are following distancing guidelines 2. My states case numbers are steady and relatively low / low positive rate 3. I take public transportation there 4. My work does not require much face to face work with the public- desk job. 5. All guidance on SCI shows that we are at higher risk 6. Very little actual outcome based results on COVID and SCI. Only a single case study 7. I live in a place where community transmission has been active for a while and may have had it asymptomatically already. 8. I'm typically pretty healthy (besides UTI, occasional skin breakdown) 9. One of my caregivers has emphysema 10. I'm not impacted economically either way 11. If I do come down with it mildly symptomatic, it may be difficult to get my caregivers to show up. I would likely need to be hospitalized due to lack of care- even with mild symptoms. 12. I'm getting bored staying home 13. Due to lack of human connection while isolating, I could see myself taking part in - or may have already taken part in activities that could be more risky than work. 13. I think staying out too long may affect my reputation as a reliable useful employee. Like I said, kinda complicated. What things would you be looking at?

Re: [QUAD-L] COVID-19, SCI and going back to work
Good question. I would look into what precautions your company is taking at the office. Are employees required to wear masks? I would get all the facts before making a decision.

[QUAD-L] COVID-19, SCI and going back to work
I know that COVID was a topic before but it's been a while and things are changing all the time. I'm C5 complete and am trying to decide if I should go back to the office (day job). I was wondering, for people who went back or have decided to continue to stay out: what did you consider before making your decision? I'm a bit of a lurker on this list-serve. I posted a similar post on FB today but it seems like FB replies are not always the same quality as what happens here. Thanks for all your great posts and responses! -Joe
