Hi Kelly Jean, Welcome to our world at TMIC. I can only answer a few of your questions. I've had TM for 9 years now but have not done acupuncture, reflexology or homeopathic meds. I had the solumedrol when I first got TM but don't remember as I was in a coma at my onset but I have not had any steroids since my release. If you look in the TMIC archives you will find a lot of answers there as well. My lesion is T-6 to T-10 and I am a paraplegic and yes, therapy and stretching does help. For me the tight banding has not eased at all nor has the stingy/buzzing feeling. I know what you meant when you talked about the water splashing on you, horrible but the meds my neurologist has me on is Neurontin, Ultram and Zanaflex. I am not thinking too clearly at the moment (sorry) but wanted to welcome you to our family, you are not alone.........Ella
