I posted this request a few weeks ago in search of a Medicare Suppliment,
and am still searching. I've struck out again with a second co. but
thought I would check this echo again to see if someone out there
is on one. They're available for paras but it's looking like us quads
are up a creek. One lousy inch or so away.....

Try joining an originization that offers a group type plan where they
must accept all members of the group. Might work.

Sounded like a good tip you got from John. I will > call you this weekend. Stay posted. Buddy was on Dantrium for a short period of time - we found out how 'dangerous' it could be and ask his doctor to try something else. Buddy was given Baclofen. I guess he wasn't on the Dantrium long enough to cause any physical problems with withdrawl from it. The Baclofen works - definately keeps most of the bad spazms down most of the time. (Buddy's injury is C3-4-5-6 incomplete ... he has use of his arms and legs ... jerky, but he's bound and determined to make those parts move as long as possible).
