Isordil (Generic)
|
Isordil (Isosorbide dinitrate) is a nitrate. It works by relaxing the blood vessels in the body, allowing them to widen. This lets more blood flow through the blood vessels, which reduces the work the heart has to do to pump blood. This reduces the oxygen needs of the heart and decreases chest pain.

SPINAL CORD INJURY: FINANCIAL STRESS AND THE CAREGIVER ROLE
Economically, spinal cord injury can have monumental consequences. Medical attention, mobility aids, therapies, making homes accessible, and finding appropriate transportation add up to a huge economic burden and, often, the need for economic assistance. Although economic resources are available for the individual with spinal cord injury, families frequently need to fill in gaps in insurance coverage or supplement disability payments. Even with maximal use of benefits, the expense associated with spinal cord injury can result in financial hardship for many families. Yet some families worry that questions about medical insurance, unemployment insurance, or financial assistance are inappropriate at a time when their first concern should be the health and recovery of their loved one. Or perhaps they simply don't know whom to ask.
You can help avoid unnecessary stress by asking to meet with the hospital social worker, who can usually assist you in navigating the complex waters of insurance and disability payment applications, act as a liaison with your or your loved one's employer, and provide information on a variety of social service agencies and economic benefits that may be available to you. Hospital staff understands that you must deal with financial and practical matters affecting your family and that you can't devote all your energy to being emotionally on call for your loved one.
Family members have to evaluate for themselves the physical demands, relationship stresses, and social pressures that can stem from the caregiver role. Some families find that care-giving creates greater closeness in the family, avoids the expense of hired attendant care, and is emotionally rewarding for the caregiver. In other families, the stresses and strains of care-giving obligations can tear apart the fabric of family relationships. You can reduce these stresses, using the guidelines given above, or you can decide that another option would be best for your family. Community hospitals and social service agencies frequently offer workshops or support group meetings for caregivers, and several organizations provide support to care-giving families, such as the National family Care Givers Association.
