Hey everyone,

The subject of Trismus in another post brought this to the forefront of my mind regarding the Therabite device. They are so darn expensive and most insurance companies don't/won't pay for it. In our case, I was able to find one to bid on in EBay and won it but it was still rather pricey. I got it thinking Bill would need it but as it turned out, he never had a problem with Trismus.

So, when ChristineB mentioned in a post that she needed one, I cleaned Bill's and mailed it to her...not expensive to do as its lightweight. She then passed it forward as well when she could not use it. DO YOU SEE A TREND HERE??

So, if you have a need for this device or you have one that you are not using, post here or IM the "needer" and see if you can pass it on!

Thanks, Deb
