I went back to the neuro a few weeks back for the most recent check ups. I joined this websight after I was diagnosed in 05. Spent 3 years trying to get walking back. I still can stand up quickly and I can't run. I guess I should just leave the site now that my neuro says I'm fine. ------Original Message------ From: Janice Nichols To: [email protected] To: I Whiddett To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TMIC] TM and Pilates Sent: Feb 13, 2010 2:14 PM
Randy, So you are telling us that you have absolutely no symptoms and you feel great? If so, I am thrilled for you, but am wondering why you are on this website.
