I have been turkey hunting so I have not jumped in on this discussion...but I
had my first TM attack in 09 and my second in 01. They added Probable MS to my
Dx and gave me betaseron and since I have switched to Rebif. I had another
attack last July and this time the MRI showed my first lesion on the brain.....
I tell everyone I have both Recurrent TM and MS. I started with TM and those
symptoms remain. But the newest problems and damage has been from the MS.
It was reading messages from Bobby Jim before and since my 2001 second attack
that let me know that "progressing" to MS was nothing to be afraid of and
something I could survive and deal with.
I value his opinions, experience and his humor.
Sandy (who despite her persistence has not killed a turkey this year. I will
give it another "shot" this week!)

Subject: Re: [TMIC] Re: Who's got what?
I don't mind hearing about people who have other diseases, syndromes,
whatever....I have TM and my best friend has MS. Sometimes we compare notes.
It sure doesn't hurt since it seems like we're all in the same kinda boat. I'm
always worried that my TM will come back OR progress to MS?
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms!

Here's my thinking, Bobby Jim has been at least with us 10 of the 11years
I've been
here, and he is a valued member of this group.......his lady may have
progressed to MS,
but Bobby Jim is still here as a caregiver and a great friend and member of
this family!!!!!!!!!!!

Me missus came down with TM in 97 September at T-8. No action taken;
no meds, no nada.
Then, in 99 Feb she had a second attack, this time at C-5,6. She was
given steroids for a few dayze then about a month later, her dx was changed
from TM to MS and we started her on Avonex. Nowadayze, 346 shots later, she's
still on Avonex and holding up quite well.
Yes, but MS is a totally different disease than TM, so what does she have
to do with us? I'm happy for her that the medication for MS is working so well
with her, but I'm afraid it wouldn't do much for me? What do you think, Frank?
ElBobberino has much wisdom and a lot to share with us, but when he talks
about his "missus' ," illness, it really has nothing to do with TM. Shouldn't
they be sharing with those on a site for MS?
Peace and Prayers,
Jude
