hi...
this is my first time writing. i'm actually writing on behalf of my brother. he was in a car crash 16 months ago, that left him a c6 quadriplegic. he hasn't been able to sleep at night for a while now because of profuse sweating. the sweating is caused by leg spasms, and though he's trying different mixes of medication, the sweating continues. does anyone know of anything that can help? thanks

I to was in a car wreak 3 years ago to the day. I was a c-2 quad for several days until surgery. I am a chronic pain paitent and take allot of meds. If I take to much meds I sweat and cannot sleep. I also have Post Traumic Stress Disorder and cannot sleep at night anyway. This proably will not help but the prayers WILL!
