This is waaay to late, but Denise's point is well taken. What I now know
about "CP" issues, I have learned from this list. This is *my* most valued
source of info re: CP issues. If we all weren't "disability focused, I
would enjoy knowing you, but at the same time, I would not know what I now
know about Baclofen, aging, the use , or none use, of prescription
medication, etc. with regard to CP issues. I do not spend most of my days
focused on my disability, even though I am in the *rehab.* business.
