I, too, have banding, but it has lessened over the 8 years I've had TM. It
was extremely painful for the first few years, but now I only have pain below
my right breast at night. My hands are paralyzed, and I can't unhook my bra so
sometimes I have to sleep with it on, and that really hurts--I try to go to
sleep asap! Lyrica helps me a lot with the banding.
~I've got that banding feeling,
ohohoh, that banding feeling
I've got that banding feeling
And it's not gone, gone, gone
It's not gone, gone, gone ohohohohoh!~
LOL
Have a wonderful day!
Priscilla

Hi Jude,
It's so good to see you posting. It's been too long and we've missed you.
I'm getting pretty sick of this banding too. And I've had the same thing with
the breathing. What's up with that?? The first time it happened I was
actually a little scared. If I would mind my P's
and Q's and not try to do too much in one day, ALL of my aches and pains
would be more manageable.....well, maybe
love,
Linda

Hi Jeanne,
The banding has been exactly the same for me. It has been with me
since day one and starts underneath my breasts and goes all the way around my
abdomen. When it gets real bad, it continues downward until I feel completely
enveloped by it. Sometimes it hurts so badly it hurts to even breathe.
I don't let TM or anything get me down, but I am beginning to feel
angry, after seven years. I am pissed because I cannot work in the garden and
go places without it being a big deal to get dressed, fix my hair and sometimes
put on make up so the pain doesn't show so badly. I was told that I looked old
when I am in pain...by a sweet 14 year old boy. "Thank you very much".
For the constipation problem, for years I have used Fish Oil
capsules, one per day and I get them from the health food store or my pharmacy.
They work like a dream. And I have the kind of bowel that moves the poop down
to "the vault", but will not push it out, so I have done digital removable for
ever and ever. It's not fun, but we need to do what we need to do...
Love and Prayers,
Jude

The banding came on immediately with the TM and has
never left. Without the meds, it is excruciatingly painful and just heads
south to my toes. Funny how you can hurt so bad and 'not feel'??? Explain
that to someone?? ::)) Gosh, I'm so happy you all are in my life..Jeanne

Subject: [TMIC] That banding feeling
Those of you who got that banding feeling do you all
just have TM or did you also get subsequently diagnosed with MS too? And if you
did experience the banding feeling, did you experience it at the beginning of
your TM (or MS) journey or somewhere down the road? :-)
Just wondering if TM'ers get the banding feeling or
is it only those that get MS too. I had it at the start of my TM but it went
away after a month or two. I had a very mild case of TM and as of yet not
diagnosed with MS.
Thanks!
