Good for you, Gilly!! You said it like an experienced tmer!! It's tough, but we've got to speak out to beat the tm away from "our doors"!!! Everyone fights this thing in his/her own way, but getting to share it with those who really know where we're coming from is our salvation!! janh, tmer since '96, Hugs to all!!

Don't take it all to heart Jude, we have always had our little squabbles, as you well know and it really serves no purpose except to take up megabytes and bandwidth when we are scolding each other. We should all remember the golden rule (well perhaps my golden rule but it works) EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG!! We are never going to agree with everyone all the time and we all have different concepts of what should and shouldn't be. So be it. It is hard for we long time tmers to not get jaded and be uplifting all the time but I suppose the new to this crap need us to be. Tough (said in a very kindly fashion :)) ) because we are just people getting along the best we can. Since the medical profession know 6 penneth worth of bugger all about TM, we have to rely on each other. We old tmers know this, sadly, the new ones will too. So, once again, anyone who is naughty and unpleasant on the list will just have to go to the time out corner. hugs to all from Gilly The Fool On The Hill at Kanmantoo. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 12:43 PM Subject: [TMIC] Don't Worry About Me First, let me thank those of you who have taken the time to email me and lend me your support. Those of you who have been on the List for some time know how I feel about every one of you. If you don't, you haven't been reading my email! I am a mature woman, a lover of people and yet I have the ability to take care of myself. I do not go out of my way to make strife on the List and I think that Jim knows that or he would have asked me to leave long before this. What I may be, is somewhat naive, and tend to write before I think at times. I will do my best not to email so often when the topics are not specific to TM. I think that having TM and being bedridden has made me rather jaded on the subject. I feel resigned to my fate and tend to forget that there are so many of you with TM who walk and get around quite well on your own. Why is it that there is so much diversity when it comes to managing TM by the medical field? There are all types of medications...none of us are on the same drugs, are we? There are all types of therapies available but depending upon insurance companies many Tm'ers are unable to take advantage of them. Since my time on the List I have read emails by some of the most uplifting persons I know. I have read my share of emails written by those with no hope, only to be turned around by the List group. And, I have had the sobering emails about those of us who simply can't take it any more. Those TM'ers we will never hear from again. And then there are those ungrateful people who criticize whatever is written on this List that might not exactly fit the criteria of the Rules. If we belong to this List...if we have TM...then as long as we write in a respectable manner, we ought to be able to say what we need to say as long as it will help another person with TM. HELP ANOTHER PERSON WITH TM... Those are the words that are important here. And that is what I will continue to try to do. As other's have done for me. (that sounds somewhat familiar, aye?) As a die-hard Beatle fan, I must say, "ALL WE NEED IS LOVE, LOVE IS ALL WE NEED. Jude o A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
