Aquatic Therapy

Dear Doctors,
SDS patients have an e-mail server to share information with each other. One young lady (36 years
old) is seeking information on aquatic therapy to present to her insurance company which is balking
at covering a swimming pool. She is unable to use public facilities because she has only one kidney
and must be on guard against UTI's. She has had rapid progression of symptoms and doctors have
told her she has a short life expectancy. She is really grasping at straws trying to find something that
works and she says she feels much better when diving to the bottom of a pool because it stabilizes her
blood pressure.
She has searched the web for information but has been unable to find anything to help. Please
respond to this message and I will pass it along to her.
