This is BobbyJim in Elvisland (a.k.a. Memphis, Tennessee) (no, am not a suthnr, just happen to live here --long story).
Am one of the old timers in this group, September '97, when me missus came down with TM at T-8. Neither one of us knew what the heck that was....... but we learned fast. Da poore gal had a second attack in Feb 99 and her then neuro changed her dx to MS. She's been on Avonex ever since and today, almost 475 shots later (peri$$$h the co$t), one can hardly tell that she's afflicted. So ask away, we're here to help. BobbyJim (a.k.a.

From: Emily To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 11:10 Subject: [TMIC] New to TM Hi Everyone, My husband has recently (September 2nd) been diagnosed with Idiopathic TM. He was treated at Pennsylvania Hospital under the care of a team of Neurologists. He was given mega doses of Prednisone and is currently weaning with oral prednisone. He was discharged from the hospital last Thursday and he is now working hard at an acute rehabilitation center (3-5 hours each day). He has a very positive outlook and is "taking it one day at a time". My question is this..is there a support group for spouses of TM? Emily Life is not measured by the number of breaths that we take but by the moments that take our breath away.
