C-PALSY archives -- May 1999 (#44)Crying "WOLF?"  Shoulda known you were
somewhere else.

Thanks for elucidating the differences about pill and pump.  Gets me
thinking.

You might also note "What a Difference a Doc Makes!"  Sorta icing on the
cake.

Good will to effect, Denise.

There is truth transfixed in trite expressions.  "What a Difference A Day
Makes," is a prime example.  Yesterday, I could barely function.  Today I'm
feeling great!  I wish I could have related my entire experience with you
yesterday, but alas, my synapatic firing kept getting jammed.  I couldn't
hit
the cognative mark :D

Any way, he suggested the Baclofen pump because I currently take 60MG daily
by mouth.  He said it is extremely inefficeint deleivery.  Using the pump a
minisucle dose could be administered directly into my spinal cord.  The
side-effects are lessened because the drug doesn't travel through the entire
blood stream and through all of the organs.  It makes sense, but I'm still a
bit leary.

Take Care, Be well, and For Pete's sake, try and find a good
doctor.  It really does make all the difference.  - Denise.
