As far as I'm concerned, I moved from Richmond, VA to Asheville, NC in November, 2005.  I moved into my own Apartment here in July 2006. I've lost weight too. about 20-30 pounds.  C.P. wise, I can't complain.  I don't have any iaaues.   I'm glad you are doing well.  My dad died in April 2004.

>OK, so how's everyone doing CP-wise?  As for me, I've found Botox.  Anyone else have any experience with this stuff?  It's been a godsend for me.  I get shot about every 3 months or so and a heck of a lot of stretching in between.  I guess we're going to start using some drug called "Myoblock" next time around.  Apparently the body doesn't develop the same accomodation to the botulin toxin.  I also found a kick-butt orthotist in town that built an incredible AFO for me--makes a night and day difference in my gait.

>Last year I had an aneurysm pop somewhere in my gut and came pretty close to going 'casters up'. The net result was that I lost about 30 pounds in the hospital and have managed to keep it off.  That helps enormously.  Every pound you lose is one pound less to carry on a battered old frame.

>I've also found a new med called Lyrica (pregabalin).  The stuff originally was prescribed for folks with diabetic nerve pain, but they are discovering it helps with a host of CNS issues.  My pain load has dropped remarkably.  Lyrica and Zanaflex (tizanidine) at night are the only two CP meds I'm taking now.  I'm doing better than I have been in years.
