I'm a T7 para and had slightly high blood pressure in the hospital. I was given a half tablet of metoprosal (sp?). It didn't affect me at all. I quit taking it when I got home. It is higher than before I got hurt but not above normal. Stacy - Original Message From: "[EMAIL PROTEC

Hi Everyone, I have recently been having high blood pressure and I know it's NOT from AD. I normally have low blood pressure. I'm thinking my doctor will want me to start taking medicine for it, which concerns me because I'm a quad. I was wondering if there are any quads here that take meds

Hi Stacy, I am sorry to hear of your set back. In 1981 my bro-in-law was helping me do a transfer from the car to my chair. I lost my balance and broke my right femur about 4" below my hip. It was a 4 1/2" upside down 'V' on both side of the bone. They put a titanium rod in my femur, a

Most don't know it. It is common sense & they need science to prove it works. If you don't have a health food store near you, check the different kinds of yogurt. It needs to say it is made with live yogurt cultures. KK

Dear Stacy, After taking most anti biotics you have killed the bad bacteria in your digestive tract, unfortunately, you've killed the good bacteria, too. I take acidopholus with anti biotics to keep the runs to a minimum. It really works. It's the stuff they tell you is in yogurt but its not the
