I have the opposite...issue...with my husband. Sometimes, the stuff he says to able bodied people...:eek:...his favorite is to pretend to be mentally disabled (he calls it "the retard act"). I don't...

Dr. Young, you should repost/move that into one of the "sticky" threads...It's interesting more generally.

It's too bad this is mostly of academic interest at this point. I'm sure my husband would...

We have these too...they're great, plus high enough that my husband can get in and out relatively easily. We go to Laz-e-boy when we are looking to buy and hunt around for the tallest chairs. They...

Here's another idea: start your own business. If your income covers your needs right now and you have medical coverage, this is a great time to try to turn a hobby into a business or find some unique...

This semirandom string of emoticons brought to you by our 5 year old...as soon as she was grasping with...

I don't get why people can't just say "I have no idea" when asked for a time frame.

brucec,

I am sure that once there is a therapy, it will be available to anyone that the doctors think it will help. What we have been told by medical researchers in the past is that if you are in...

For my husband, the botox stopped working after about five treatments - around about four years altogether. The last time he had it done, it didn't work at all. It varied in between too - sometimes...

I was thinking as I was reading the first post that I usually have the opposite problem...my husband gets bound and determined to do something or other and I'm not sure that he can. Why can't he just...

When my husband was injured, it was two weeks after we had gotten engaged and we had only known each other for about seven months. He was a lot the same way. In fact, although we have been married...

I'll have to check with her. There is an association for medical acupuncture that she receives continuing education through, I think she found training through them originally as well.

I haven't posted much on the forums in a while; I got a full time job and got pregnant simultaneously :baby:, and now that she's 4 I'm finally starting to find time again...

Anyway, I wanted to...

I thought that this was a solid basic research paper. If nothing else, in the shorter term it could provide models for exploring whether this kind of cross-injury site regeneration leads to...

My husband also has terrible swelling in his lower legs. My sister is a medical acupuncturist (a medical doctor who also does acupuncture), so my husband has had the opportunity to try it. She has...

Scott,

Doesn't the availability of private insurance vary by state? I believe in Ohio we would NOT be able to get private insurance except in very tight and very specific circumstances (there's a...

I have not looked into this, but I thought perhaps that if you are forced to stop working due to your disability, that you could qualify for Medicare as disabled. You would need a doctor to certify...

Bobo1974,

Whose thesis, yours or another student? What college or university? It's generally not a good idea to post info such as email addresses etc. on the public part of the forum, so it's best...

We must have the best combination - a small local hospital near a larger urban area. They are small enough that they pay attention when we have special requests for my husband (they are not too busy...

That reminds me of a friend of mine who had MS and was in a chair. When he would ask for something, there would be the question - like "Could you get me a drink?" and then a second later, almost too...

My husband's insurance covered it. Has your doctor checked with your insurance specifically? Can you lobby them? Maybe the doctor would be willing to lobby on your behalf?

Hey CC,

My husband had those problems too, until he had the botox procedure. None of the various doses or brands of anticholinergics worked very well. He does take 15 mg of ditropan xl once at...

Hi ChopperChick,

Sorry to hear about this episode...after almost two years with only 'snot' episodes, my husband has recently had three poop accidents within two months. It doesn't matter when or...

I'll second that procedure. This is almost exactly what my husband does with his. We find that as long as the bag is freezer weight, it works, we have used the pint sized bags also.

Thanks everyone! Sounds like there shouldn't be too much to worry about. It isn't blistered because the skin came right off at the time he burned it. We'll keep an eye on it.

Lynnifer, sounds...
