I have had a suprapubic catheter since 5/05 when I got too weak to walk
again.
My home health nurse changes it once a month. When I go out I can change
from the big collection bag to a leg bag which hids under my dress easier.
They tell my husband could be taught to change it. He should

several days after my son't birthday, although it started coming on about a

Is anyone here diabetic. I have been been recently diagnosed as 'insulin
resistant' and put on Byetta which really, really curbs my appetite. To bad I
can't stand up to weigh.
What kind of exercises can I do since I am stuck in bed?
My dr also said I should eat between 150 and 180 grams
I took Avinza a while back and had a terrible reaction. Actually, it scared
the sh-t out of me. I think what happened was that I had been on those
patches for pain and I didn't get all of that out of my system before starting
the Avinza.
I can't remember if I kept taking it or whether I f

I came down with TM in '76, had a 95% recovery and had my second child in

so I

Hey Wendy, my name is Hildred and I was hit by TM in 5/76. It started with
bad back pain, slow walking, chest cold, then a high temp and muscle spasms
in the large muscle in the thigh. I walked into the hospital because I hadn't
pee'd in two days but got paralyzed from the chest down very

Pam, I am on Coumadin (10 mg every day, except 7.5 on Mondays) also.
They change the dosage often. I don't know what I do that they have to
keep changing the dosages. I gave up taking my multivitamin, gave up the
green veggies, and even the questionable banana. I've probably had
broccoli
I used Lidocaine patches when I was in rehab - took one patch, cut it in
two and put one on each knee - can't really say one way or the other.
Probably would say it didn't help much. I have used a whole one on my back
but I sleep on my back and it gets all wadded up.

I haven''t gotten a directory or journal in a while now but I think they might have taken my name off the list when I didn't have access to a computer for a while (it hurts sooo bad sitting up in bed using a laptop!) but I seem to be back on the list now.

the painful spasms in the beginning I was virtually painfree until the past
couple of years. Any pain that I did feel in the beginning, i.e., a
