basics: TM is like the first auto-immune attack of MS. In TM you rarely have a second attack, but in MS you have multiple attacks- every six month to three years- with slow and sure deterioration of the brain.
I had my TM attack in August 2000, and only this year did my local neuro. say that he definitely thought my diagnosis was TM. ( the radiologist made the diagnosis in Sept, 2000). "Covering the Ass" is a universal condition seen in all cultures. Often one can link it to modes of dress: dresses are OK, but trousers are far better at keeping "The Ass" covered. The extreme can be seen in the modern thong that leaves nothing uncovered except "The Ass." I hope that explains the situation.
