Re: [QUAD-L] San Diego Area

I had family in Oceanside. I wish I could remember the name of the beach, but there was a public bech there that lent out beach chairs. I think it was the parks department that did that so ask around if you do that. I thought that was so cool. As far as I remember, Oceanside was as wheelchair

Re: FW: [QUAD-L] eg contractions

William, do the contractions continue when you are on your side? It could be from a pressure sore, broken bone or something that is compromised. Try to isolate what makes it the worst and what doesn't bother it and then go see a doctor. You have to be diligent in your pursuit because it can b

[QUAD-L] Cold when Hot?

I use to keep my house very warm, plus use lots of blankets. I loved feeling very warm. But lately, even when the house is not as warm and I'm not using as many blankets, when I get too hot my arms start to hurt and I feel cold.

I have to be careful how I address this one, but a recycled tens unit comes in handy for tightening up those muscles. In the hands, under the direction, of a physical therapist a tens unit can stimulate muscles in your face. However, I must warn you... practice makes perfect. Best Wishes

Interesting, I am about 30 pounds lighter than I was when I was injured and about 40 pounds lighter than my all-time high, but I still have a slight quad belly. If I do lose weight, I am able to lose a little bit of it, but the majority of the weight seems to come off my arms and legs. I would

That is pretty much the same thing with TABs as well with sleep deprivation. Your body starts to shut down and blood pressure drops. Get some sleep/rest and see what happens. W In a message dated 3/17/2007 8:00:54 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I know that when
