Hey, Jude......... all is cool.... OK....??? MS and TM are intimately linked, unfortunately, as are all other CNS afflictions, down to the very last one. No exceptions. Anything having to do with our nervous systems IS connected. Very much so. It's all about the wiring. Got it....??
Unfortunately, the FDA has deemed it 'proper' to not approve any of the ABC+ drugs (and not all are interferons) for anybody except MS patients. Why.....??? Dunno. Damn....!!!!! So, if your symptoms comply and your doc agrees, an MS dx would do wonders in order to get some treatment to ameliorate the junk that bothers y'all. Unfortunately (again), not all TM symptoms can be helped by an ABC+ drug, why.....??? Again, dunno. Ask the experts. As for my wisdom........ it's all research, my dear..... tons and tons and tons of research, many hours spent in front of this here infernal machine...... and since am an information junkie, research is right up my alley, been that way for years. You should see my bulging files in quite a variety of subjects, not just CNS illnesses. Oh yes, there are some MS websites, Sharon Marsden's being one of the better ones....... to which I also belong, but I've also chosen to stick with this crazy bunch'a gimps and weirdoes for almost ten years ..... ;>):>):>) doan ask mee why........ ;>) So sue me, am krazieeeee....... ;>) Indeed....!!!! Regards from Elvisland, where it hit 90.0ºF todayyyyyyyy, Arghhhh..!!!!

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
