[QUAD-L] Hey Ron

Re: [QUAD-L] Lyrica

I think taking Lyrica for nine years (800 mg per day) it has helped me tremendously and I don't have any side effects. Originally, they tried Neurontin , but I was unable to function. I ran my wheelchair into the walls and other people. Have a Blessed Day, Naomi -Original Message-

Re: [QUAD-L] Hey Ron

Well, when I first was injured and came home I was weak as a kitten and needed something to give me the energy to build myself up. Each day I would strap my belly bag on with my Walkman and plenty of water and hit the streets to wheel as far as I could. At first I couldn't make it a quarter

Whats the ripped fuel do to your blood pressure? I'm only curious because I've been trying not to take anything that raises mine for fear that I'll have an AD episode and that things that raise my BP will get me closer to something horrible happening.-Danny Original Message

Re: [QUAD-L] Saturday Quad story

That's a cool story. What you did in those years actually changed how quads were dealt with and allowed them to communicate. Im sure you have many other things you did as well and I will be looking forward to hearing them. That's the most important thing each of us quads can do.get out
