If you have a loved one at home and you find the care quite taxing, you may want to consider in-home support services. A team of medical staff provide infusion treatment and care for MS patients at home. This avoids costs of hospitalization and is covered under many health insurance plans.

He seems so young to be in a nursing home, I'd say around 40, with all the other residents well past 60 and beyond. Alan is in a wheel chair and has limited use of one arm/hand. I only know a little about Alan's background but it seems he really doesn't have anyone to advocate for him. What resources are there for Alan? Where can we look? We are in western Kentucky. I do know he has been homeless in the past so outside of a teenage son, I don't think there is anyone else who visits, or looks after Alan. He is in dire need of friends. This nursing home is typical I'd say, under staffed, under financed, under furnished. As you may know, nursing homes can be very depressing places. Alan, at such a young age feels like he has no purpose, so wrestles with depression. Our small group of friends want to help Alan. He feels scared and hopeless. He is loosing the use of the one hand he can still use. What can we do?
Thanks You

I was hoping to pass this information along to anyone that might benefit from it. It is called The Elaine Chapin Memorial Scholarship and anyone that would like an info sheet and scholarship application would simply need to email me and request one. The email address to make the request is elainememorial@sbcglobal.net

If you have any questions, please let me know. I appreciate any help in getting the word out on this scholarship.

Thanks,

my Dx of "progressive MS" was handed me in summer '04 when i landed in a wheelchair with a spinal injury.

i am fascinated w/ assistive technology, particularly adaptations i can make at home and pertaining to in the home. many i hope to publish online when the "bugs" are worked out.

hoping for a fruitful participation, proudmutt ]]> http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=12&Focus=35#Comment_35 http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=12&Focus=35#Comment_35 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 23:11:23 -0700 ablegaitor Medical benefits include the prevention of numerous complications that can develop in people with limited mobility, such as degenerative changes in the cardiovascular system, osteoporosis, increased risk of coronary disease, venous stasis, muscular atrophy accompanied by contractures involving multiple joints, respiratory problems etc. ]]> http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=5&Focus=34#Comment_34 http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=5&Focus=34#Comment_34 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 13:17:49 -0700 ann cappel I am quite thin, so the pump is visible. That bothered me at first, but it is mostly easy to hide. I do consider it when I buy clothes.
My present intrathecal "cocktail" includes baclofen, bupivicaine, clonidine, and morphine. Tiny amounts are needed because it goes straight to the spinal cord. This really reduces side effects.
Good luck! ]]> http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=11&Focus=33#Comment_33 http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=11&Focus=33#Comment_33 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:51:12 -0700 rleafmslog http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=11&Focus=32#Comment_32 http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=11&Focus=32#Comment_32 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:51:09 -0700 bcrescimanno
My 22 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with MS. No one in the family has ever had it.
From an early age her one eye would blink more often. When she would sit and watch tv, she would make vocal sounds and twitch her head from straight up to one side. At times, she still does these things, but she is more aware of it now.
(The eye twitching is involuntary) I always suspected that she had a mild case of tourettes but she was never formally diagnosed...if there is such a thing! She also has a mild case of ADHD and can be obsessive about her decisions...making them or having made them.... also common in TSA.
Thank you for your input.

It's good to know about retreat dates. I've got them blocked out on my calendar already. I will be defending my MGTHE (Men's Getaway Texas Hold-Em) title, so practice your poker guys.
Speaking of poker, we will be playing a game at Ron's in October. Anyone that is interested can shoot me an email.

Jim Ramstad did an outstanding job in congress. My representative is Keith Ellison whose wife has MS, so I am hopeful he will be a good advocate for us as well.

I'm not sure I will be able to come to the next one (9/29 at Josephs) but you might want to let those in attendance know that the next Men's Retreat will be held February 8th - 10th 2008 at Arrowhead Resort in Alexandria. Information and the opportunity to sign up will come out after November 15th. I got this information from Tim Holtz. It might also be noted (I'm sure most have heard) that Represenative Jim Ramstad has announced his retirement from the U S Congress. I usually do not back Republicans but Jim was a great asset for the MS Society and in fact started an "MS Caucus" in the House of Representatives. That caucus has grown to 37 members and has been responsible for some good legislation about disabilities and money for the NIH> ]]> http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=2&Focus=10#Comment_10 http://forum.mslog.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=2&Focus=10#Comment_10 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 14:24:05 -0700 rleafmslog I am going to create a care partner discussion category.
