Advices for an online friendship and dysreflexia

you can speak to him, offer some calming words. Tell him everything will be okay, that the dysreflexia will pass as it always does. Make sure he takes the required medication. Tell him not to overdo it. His blood pressure might go the other way. Too much nifedipine to combat dysreflexia will make his blood pressure crash. It's a fine balance. Unfortunately life is so fragile a buffoon can be fatal to it. Has anybody ever read Nietzsche? zarathustra (Nietzsche's alter ego) is in a market town. High above the cobbled stones of the marketplace a tight rope walker has strung a wire between tall buildings on either side of the square. The tight rope walker, who is highly skilled, incredibly talented, steps out onto the tight rope and begins the perilous walk from building to building. People gaze up in awe as he pauses and performs a few tricks. Suddenly, from out of the window of one of the tall buildings pops a buffoon, an idiot, who climbs onto the tight rope and begins to bounce up and down. Naturally the tight rope walker loses his balance and crashes to the cobbled stones beneath. As he lays there dying, Zarathustra cradles him in his arms and says: "Life is so fragile a buffoon can be fatal to it." The event is a metaphor for the fragility of life, the fact that the slightest thing can tip the balance. Tell your friend that Zarathustra would understand. Show him that you care. Make him feel wonderful.

I personally have not experienced that. However, i care for a disabled person. Times when a physical health condition affects one’s life dramatically can be exhausting. Sometimes all that person needs is a kind word and empathy..NOT sympathy:
