He suffers from MS in an advanced stage and is wheelchair bound. His use of this equipment has reduced the potential for blood clot formation in his legs, and has helped him with muscle tone in his legs and arms. He uses it at least three times each day for his legs and arms, and has said it is a great benefit to him. We purchased this equipment for you, and it should be delivered to your house sometime in the next week. <br /><br />There's nothing like a walk in the open air. This piece of equipment would provide an alternative if the need arises.<br /><br />You are a gifted writer. Keep up the blog for those who could benefit from your experience and the ability to put it into words.<br /><br />JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418982492594610051.post-41102206315525236072010-01-03T18:22:52.888-08:002010-01-03T18:22:52.888-08:00I saw your new post. I'm guessing that I was ...I saw your new post. I'm guessing that I was the unexpected source. Good! I'm so glad you accepted my "nudge".<br /><br />I am an insufferable insomnia, without the Prednisone. Have been all my life. I do not take anything prescribed for it. I'd usually just deal with it - often going days without sleep. I understand the aggravation, frustration, and just being tired. About a year ago, Jack MADE me go to the doctor who gave me a prescription for Ambien, but strongly suggested that I try Melatonin first, because the prescrption remedies have severe rebound, whereas melatonin does not. Rebound being that - as soon as you stop taking it - your symptoms return.<br /><br />Melatonin is naturally produced by your body. You can get a bottle of 250 - 1 mg capsules at the health food store for about $13. My doctor thinks my body simply does not produce enough. Please check with your doctor that this wouldn't adversely impact your condition or treatments. I typically only need one pill to help me sleep. Within an hour, I'm asleep.<br /><br />Hope this possible MS bout goes away. Yes, you are fortunate to have a case that is more often in remission than it is active.<br /><br />For Xmas, we gave my ex- motorized bike pedals. It allows his legs to move without his providing the locomotion - thereby not contributing to his feeling tired, while keeping blood clots from developing in his legs. I think you are still energetic enough to exercise on your own, which will go a long way to fending off problems like his. Something to keep in mind if that changes.<br /><br />I offer these thoughts and experiences to you, because I know how much my son worries about his Dad....and I know Matt and Meghan worry about you, too. We're their Moms - we are supposed to be invincible! :-) I offer them with the best of intentions....<br /><br />Best regards - BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418982492594610051.post-10083148901319250442010-01-01T23:31:09.573-08:002010-01-01T23:31:09.573-08:00I love you.
