Re: Orthostatic Tremor: An Update on a Rare Entity

I will admit to cloudy thinking at times. Some tasks requiring intellectual abilities seem more daunting than they used to and take me longer to complete.

Re: Standing Time? this is how long I can stand...

Hello Gloria and all of my OT friends. Happy New Year! I believe I am one of the fortunate ones as far as standing time goes. I have had OT about 13 years. With Neurontin, I can still stand for several minutes. I don't feel like it has progressed in several years. I do have an occasional bad day whe...

Re: Happy New Year!

Hello Mary, I have gone to Dr. Joseph Jankovic at Baylor at his Movement Disorders Clinic for ten years. He is very knowledgeable and has done research on O.T. There are a number of other doctors in the clinic as well. You would get fine care there. My best to you, Maggie

Re: Reports from the front lines at the Omaha OT Conference

Several people asked me for the name of my travel bag with the built in seat, and I didn't have it with me in Omaha. I have looked it up. You can find it online at walkinbag.com. I bought the Zip2 seat .... Wheels swivel, you can lean on the handle like a cane, seat folds flat to the back. The only ...

The Walkin" Bag- Zip Cart-Seat

Hello to my fellow friends with OT. I am leaving for Europe soon, and I have not found the need to use a wheelchair yet while travelling. I found a wonderful carry on bag with wheels and a handle that can take weight, so you can lean on it a bit. The bag rolls sideways, or behind you. Best of all a ...

It has helped, but I still have plenty of issues with tremors. You give me hope that this new drug will be even more benefic...
