Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 Hello in WA. I am a dry sider in WA also. My kids and their families are wet siders (Lake s and Mukilteo). My daughter is a SAHM also. Hi there Kailu. I have a Kaeli for a grand daughter. Hi there Shellie! Welcome to WW, great group, great organization. Hi Pat, howdy Amy (you the new bride?). Yes indeed, the official WW policy is weigh once a week. Well.....I still do it DAILY. Even while still on staff, I stepped on those Tanita scales every morning. I am sure I missed some names, I have the memory of a closed book. So, if I missed your names, do not feel slighted one whit. I will get you one of these days. Made home made split pea soup with home made French bread for dunking. Yummmmmm. Low points.

Hi Cheryl, I've had my baclofen pump for five and one half years. Spasticity was no longer being controlled by oral med's. The oral pain medication I was taking did help, back then. Now that the illness is progressing, so has the pain. My pump doctor will only do baclofen. I've found plenty of doctor's who use opiates in the pump, but not baclofen. The story I was told by most of the doctor's was that the math is too complex configuring two different med's. I won't give up, not yet. It's not a personal thing with me. Between my insurance network and the doctor's available, I can't match one up. If anything, I am persistent and hope to find one very soon. Thank you for writing.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi Janet - Welcome to the group, although I'm sorry for the pain that brought you here. One thing you said stuck out for me: > I cannot find a pump doctor in my area and within my insurance that will mix the baclofen with a pain med. That baffles me! I don't have a pump myself, but have considered one and have talked to lots of folks who do through this list and the one I'm on for my condition (adhesive arachnoiditis or AA), and I've never heard of anyone who did NOT get pain meds in their pump (almost always mixed with baclofen, because AA causes bad spasms too due to spinal cord and nerve root damage.) I thought the whole point of a pump was being able to deliver opiates directly to the spinal canal at lower dosages than needed with oral meds. It's terrible that they're not taking advantage of the implant to do just that. Why do you think that's the case for you?
