Jeron:
I know you are terrified and I don't blame you....but please
remember you are not alone. When did you have your first onset? What
tests did the Dr. give you in determining his diagnosis? How old are
you? And finally how are they presently treating you (are they giving
you steroids?). Keep your head up....things will get better!
All the best!

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

Hey Jeron,
Sorry to hear that you're in the hospital.
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.
We are thinking of you,
Todd in Corpus Christi, TX

Hey all,
Firstly, I'm in the hospital again for more treatments (severe
back pain due to herniated discs and dragging right leg, pins and
needles etc). 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

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.

Janice,
I'm not sure about TM being passed on.
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.

Good Morning. 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?
