Hey Melinda, Yes, this is Transverse Myelitis Internet Club - TMIC. This is my Transverse Myelitis e-mail address, because you're correct that we can get 10 and/or more of e-mail per day. Here is a wonderful welcome letter that Sandy did: I always say...when Groucho Marx said, "I wouldn't want to be a member of any club that would have someone like me for a member." He was talking about us. That's the good old TM club! Nobody really wants to join. We don't aspire to it. Not an achievement really. But once you are here everybody welcomes you! Nobody listens to a bad "tap" story better than us. No one can relate to the cozy comfort of a two hour MRI better than us. And the waiting for confirmation on a diagnosis or drug sampling is not appreciated anywhere in cyberspace better than here. I know a lot about drugs I have never tried. But when my time comes to try them I know a LOT! Whether its training your bladder, making peace with your bowels, or waltzing gracefully through the side effects maze, this group knows how to coach and counsel. We are open 24 hours and FREE! Welcome to you Melinda. Pretty soon you will be old hat at this an offering advice yourself. Take care, Sandy in Wisconsin I got TM on April 1, 2002 @ T-4 to T-8. I have banding at this spot around my stomach, it has gotten better over the years. I still have drop foot, this is when the foot drags on the floor, on my bad leg and my good leg is 75% back to normal. I have always walked with a walker in the house and use a wheelchair when I go out. My medications for pain is Lyrica 150 mg twice a day & Nortripline 25 mg at night. I'm still trying new medications for bladder & bowel. Because everyone here are different, they will have difference problems and/or difference solutions. Welcome to the TM group and post your question here so we can get to know your daughter. We're here for you & your daughter, Todd in Corpus Christi, TX

Is this a transverse mylitus group? Do you have this awful disease, my 31 year old daughter does and mainly has leg pain. If you have what are your symtoms? My daughter takes alot of narcotics but she also has other problems non related to TM. Thanks for sharing if you want.

It started in their neighbors part, unknown origin as of right now as to the cause. Please keep them in your prayers, Red Cross has them in a hotel for 5 days and then they are on their own. It was a total loss, and that was their car too that was melted to nothing. Both are disabled; Sara has auto immune like me, Sally my ex wife lost 2/3's of her right lung and both breasts to cancer and they are worried it is in her lymph glands. And now this...
