I hope you continue to find answers here. Unfortunately there are going to be those threads which we don't like, but as someone said before, there is always the delete key.
Just because you don't get a number of responses to your queries, doesn't mean it was a read by a multitude of people who really didn't feel the ability to respond effectively to your question. I read every answer or suggestion and it helped me out. About three or four years ago I made a similar plea and someone, it may have even been Tim (stuntman) who responded that we think about things other than a quadriplegia all the time. Why not comment about them on this site? The person felt it was mundane to consistently do nothing but talk about quadriplegia and frankly I have to agree. That is not to say that I don't agree with what you wrote. We should be more consumed with those who won't come out and help those of us in need. I hope this made some sort of sense. If not I apologize. Quadius On 2/24/08, Stacy Harim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I also went to that list because I had ADEM (Acute Disseminated > Encephalomyelitis)which is similiar to TM.
