Good day my friends, Got some bad news today. I returned to the hospital a couple of days ago because I was feeling some pain and with TM, precaution is imperative. My neurologist just confirmed recurrent TM. I was doing so good, I was doing everything right, why me? I hate this, I have to start all over again. I am scared. I don't know what to do. My wife is terrified and my family is traumatised and it is all my fault...... help me please... Jeron

Herniated discs is got to be very painful on top of TM. The drop foot will get better with exercises and the pin & needle will get better with drugs. lol Please keep us updated on your stay hospital.

I asked Prof. Ivan about the connection and he disagrees based on many things he started to explain that I may have been too drugged up to understand. So, I asked him for medical journals on said topic and he reckons he has got some. I will get back to you on this. Also, stem cell research is still probably the only help for TMers with chronic pain and disabilities directly attributed to TM and MS. my 2 cents at 4 am at Clinica Sao Vincente Gavea, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil Jeron From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [TMIC] Children Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:30:22 -0500 Jeepers! You do have a lot of autoimmune illnesses in your family. Kind of scary. I really don't understand insurance companies. They would be really happy if they only had to insure very healthy people that have no accidents of any kind. What a crock.

However, there are a lot of autoimmune illnesses in my immediate family. I'm eldest of 3 girls (I'm going on 65). My father had rheumtoild arthritis. My sister 3 yrs younger has MS (was diagnosed in 1991 but figures she had it much longer) My sister 7 yrs younger was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at age 19 and had large bowel and rectum removed then. My daughter has none of the above. However, this past year she signed up for extra medical insurance coverage and was denied MS coverage should she get it in the future. She had to include on her application any illnesses in her immediate family, mother, father, sibling. She had to declare that I have TM. So that tells me that insurance companies anyway figure there could be a connection.

It is the first day of SPRING!!!!! I have a question for you "smarter than me" TM'ers. In the future, do we have any information on chances for our children ending up with TM also?
