RE: [QUAD-L] seat cushion

As I've posted previously, I question the true value of pressure mapping. Doesn't the process and mapping assume you will always be seated (positioned) exactly the same way in your chair on your cushion each time? It seems even a minor variance (perhaps 1) left, right, forward or backward would

RE: [QUAD-L] seat cushion

Yes and no. It does change as your position changes, but you'd have to be pretty changed to make a real difference. But if you saw the pressure difference on my mapping of my Jay and my Roho, it was clearly more relief on my Roho. I was able to see how the pressure changes as I raised and lowered

[QUAD-L] Unidentified subject!

TO ALL TC SCS MEMBERS,   I remember it was last year or so when somebody out there told me about GoodSearch.com. I don't remember the story anymore but it seems to me that I checked with national on it and, whatever happened, it fell by the wayside. Well now I've just heard about it again

RE: [QUAD-L] seat cushion

I never had pressure mapping until I developed a stage one pressure ulcer. I didn't realize it at the time that it was being caused by my jeans. I sat on a number of different cushions during the very simple procedure. It turns out that the best cushion for me is the 2 inch piece of foam. A

[QUAD-L] Savella

Has anybody tried Savella for SCI/nerve pain?* *

Re: [QUAD-L] seat cushion

I have to agree with you Greg. If I'm off as much as a 1/4 of an inch I am extremely uncomfortable. A friend of mine is having the pressure mapping done as I speak. The only reason these haven't done is because he has been developing some raw spots on his rear end. He uses a 1 inch foam

Re: [QUAD-L] 35 year anniversary

Daniel, When you are doing the vest therapy try to have them put you in Trendelenburg if your bed is capable of doing that. This position in combination with percussion and expectorants can really facilitate the removal of secretions and thereby allow you to virtually eliminate pneumonia. Talk

Re: [QUAD-L] 35 year anniversary

congratulations. On August 8 I will celebrate the 14th anniversary of the day I was able to successfully breathe without the aid of a ventilator. I like celebrating this day as opposed to worrying too much about the day I was injured. I like to accentuate the positive. Quadius On Mon, Jul 27,

Re: [QUAD-L] seat cushion

At 06:32 PM 7/29/2009, Quadius said something that elicited my response: I have to agree with you Greg. If I'm off as much as a 1/4 of an inch I am extremely uncomfortable. Ain't that the truth! When my PCAs put me in my chair or adjust me in bed, I often have them move me ever so lightly

RE: [QUAD-L] seat cushion

I do agree that even smaller diversions in seating are detectable by me and it appears most quads, and if pressure mapping is done with multiple cushions and seating positions (i.e. legs up/down, etc.) I can see some value in pressure mapping. Thanks for all of the input. Steve - C4, 21 years

Re: [QUAD-L] Help! Suprapubic Cath keeps plugging

This has happened to me several times over the last 14 years. The first few years that I had difficulty with this I believe it was largely because the catheter wasn't large enough. I ended up using a 22 French and this helped considerably. I did have a problem for about six months about four

Re: [QUAD-L] 2 much bachoflen

I'm a little shocked at the 300. I take 80 mg of baclofen a day, but that is orally. The individuals I know who have a baclofen pump tell me it requires quite a bit less than when they were taking the medicine orally. Everyone reacts differently, but I never experienced fatigue from baclofen,

RE: [QUAD-L] 2 much bachoflen

I've taken 120mg daily (30mg 4x daily) orally for 21 years per SCI MDs direction, though FDA advises 80mg daily as the maximum dosage. I've tried cutting back slowly several times, but anything below even 100mg daily has my legs spasming out of my shoes. 120mg works for me. 300mg daily sounds
