I was told there was a 20% chance me TM could turn into MS. After 11 years I would guess that is not likely to happen -- I hope, anyway! But the number of TMers here who have gone on the MS have reassured me that it is handle-able, so that has taken a lot of the scariness away for me. My understanding was that whether MS gets worse depends on what kind it is. There is a recurrent kind with several different attacks over the years, and there is a progressive kind which steadily gets worse.

We were told that TM could very easily turn to MS later in life. I don't know remember what the % was but I think it was about 14% of people who have TM go on later to be diagnosed with MS. My understanding is that TM works backwards compared to MS. TM starts bad and gets better, MS starts slow and progressively gets worse. Has anyone else been told about this?? Tracey L.

This is the type of email that I was alluding to...does TM progress to MS? Does TM affect other organs the way that MS does? I get a lot of questions like this, and there seems also to be confusion regarding medications between the two illnesses. If they are related, it seems like what works on one disease would work for the other. Thank you, Jude ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
