Do you mean recipes for the sauce......??? Memphis has a great assortment of sauces and powders. We almost never make our own. I'll send you some web sites.

It's fun......(methinx). We'll grill more than meats, veggies such as corn wrapped in foil with basil leaves(fresh) wrapped around them, mixed veggies also wrapped in foil come out quite tasty as well.

Boy, did I dread that. I have gotten better at it by doing parts of it at different times of the day. I was trying to do it all at once, but really paid a price for it. Now is much easier by planning meals like casseroles, crock pot, etc., where I don't have to stand very long. What I really like is when it is warmer my husband grills and I only have to fix a couple of side dishes. In Missouri, that is in April - but we grill until the end of October.

On my last MRI, he said the nerves have healed and are not swollen, but the protective coating has been destroyed and that is was causing the problems. He also confirms the TM diagnosis. I am able to walk in the house without any aids, but I cannot stand alone for anymore than a few seconds. When I am moving I am o.k. but when I stop I have to have something to hold on to. My family said I waddle like a duck when walking but at least I can get where I want to go. I used to use the walker with a wheels and a seat while cooking, but I don't have to do that anymore. I am pooped after. I also use a walker when I am out and about. I need the security of having something to hold on it. I also have an electric cart so I can get around to various functions, but don't use it much during the winter. I use it when going to things like the State Fair, etc. It is always so nice when we can compare symptoms and problems. It shows we are not alone in this. Take care and don't give up!

I can walk, but not well without aids. When I do, I use up so much of my energy that I cannot function much after doing just a very small amount, so it's just not worth it. Around the house I use a walker with wheels for household chores like laundry and while doing my cooking prep at the kitchen table, etc. I can't walk and carry hardly anything unless it's like from one counter to another in the kitchen or if there isn't any weight to it. It just doesn't work for me. Like can't walk and chew gum, you know? It's just easier than using a cane or crutch and then going back and forth with just one thing at a time. I can load it up and carry a bunch of stuff at once. But, I really give myself a workout just trying to cook at the stove. That's a real challenge for me to stand at the stove for very long and I really miss spending more time cooking. My daughter in-law says when I start to look like a cowgirl, that's when you know that I'm in trouble and looking like I'm in danger of overdoing it. So, I do as much as I can sitting.

Do you still have residual problems? My same neuro suggested that it have been auto immunine disorder. I didn't know if he was suggesting a virus and when I asked I think that he might have thought that I just don't have enough background knowledge to understand. I know that I have been checked for a lot of pathogens and each time it was always negative. I did get eatten up by mosqiutoes in the deep woods of a national forrest 2 weeks before the tm experience set in.

I've never been talked to about MS though. I had only one attack, was paralyzed from waist to toes within 15 minutes, at lesion T8-10. I even went to 2 different hospitals, as I wanted a second opinion, both with a TM diagnosis. After about 3 yrs I was told by my first Neuro, who became my treating Neuro that I didn't have TM. He didn't know what caused the paralysis and no other information as to why. Not a spinal infarction or stroke, or anything else. I had trouble with my disability claim and he was the cause so I changed Neuro's a few of years later and she had MRI's done and told me the same thing. MRI's have come a long way and the lesion is not there any longer and they can't see any cause, like a bleed or anything. She looked for evidence of a bleed because she wanted to rule out the possibility of it happening again and couldn't find it. So guys, since I've had 2 Neuro's both tell me that I don't have TM, I really don't care. I'm sticking with it, and you are just stuck with me. I'm happy here, I get the support that I need, I give it when I can, and I'm not going anywhere. I really don't know what caused my problems, and I really don't care at this point. It is what it is. I've had this crap for over 10 years and it's not going away. I had TM symptoms and that's where I started, so I'm sticking with it. Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA
