<t>Dustin is 3 1/2 yrs post accident and still seeing improvement. Have you seen a BPI specialist? This would be a good place to start. It's probably too late for nerve graphs but there may be other options out there.<br/> You have found the right place for support and understanding here with everyo...

<t>With Dustin we contacted the disabilities office at his school. They sent us a packet. The dr filled out the form. He had an appt with the Division of Vocational Rehab who helped with needs for school. Because of his injuries he got a note taker, extra time for tests, quiet room for tests, and I ...

<t>Have you tried your Division of Vocational Rehab? They are very familiar with the laws. They help to accomodate businesses who hire diabled workers, making adaptations so the person can work. They helped with Dustin's schooling. Not sure if they could work on your school situation but they would ...

<t>HI,<br/> My daughter had the same problem. Rarely a dry night until age 12 and then only after she used DDAVP. She slept so soundly that an alarm (or I suspect bomb) going off next to her wouldn't wake her though the rest of the house could hear it. Her dr first tried another prescription that ha...

<t>The exercise that worked to pull Dustin's shoulder back up was to lay on the ground and try to move the arm like you are making a snow angel. Not sure how much movement you have there? At first we had to put a large cardboard underneath him, so there was not so much friction with the carpet, and ...

<t>Janet,<br/> BPI is a very specialized area. Most neuro drs have some knowledge but not what you will find with a BPI specialist that is up to date on all the new procedures. An EMG is only as good as the dr doing the test and interpreting it. They are not 100% accurate. If you have some movement ...

Seems there are several new people, so thought I would bump this up........the tally's are interesting. Add your message and be counted.

<t>Dustin's injury is to C4-5-6-7. It is a stretch. At about 6 mos they did go in and have a look as he wasn't getting a reading on one of them. Sorry don't remember which. When they got in there they found no avulsions so they cleared out scar tissue. His deltoids did return. It is mainly his bicep...
