I remember thinking "this is for the rest of my life". I said this over and
over to myself, still in a kind of disbelief that this had happened to me.
It is a constant battle
with the body, new problems developing periodically, but I am still here and I
am the same person that I was before TM, maybe better. I am much more
tolerant of people now and have more patience in daily life. I understand
things on a much deeper level than before and I feel more. I am not saying
that I don't
vent every once in a while, but I guess I am trying to make lemonade out of
lemons. I realize that I have only had TM for almost 4 years, and that
many of you
have had TM many more years and were left with many more problems than me.
It would be interesting to hear from others on how TM left you on a mental
or emotional level on a day- to- day basis. What changes you have noticed
about yourself?

i have to watch my emotions when i see the dates many of you have fought
with this thing.
my mind keeps looking for some healing.
that may just happen,but after almost 3 years,doesn't look likely.

After 13+ year the only thing that really increases my discomforts is
rain and or high humidity. Hot and cold have no more effect on me now than
before TM. It just continues to show that despite our similarities no two of us
are exactly the same.

I have been reading all your posts about sweating, and I guess I am an
odd case. I don’t have any problems with hot weather. I have always sweat
more in my hair than anywhere else, even before TM. My problem is the cold. I
am always cold so I guess that is why the hot weather doesn’t affect me too
much. I do like sleeping in a cool room and like lots of blankets. I was told
with TM your internal thermostat is not working properly.

I have been totally confused about the sweating issue ever since TM hit
me....
My lesions are L4, L5 and S1 and now since TM, the only place I sweat
is my head and when I sweat, I sweat profusely, I mean to the point that it
drips off my nose and down the sides of my head...
I sweat no other place on my body, even during the summer on hot days
outside. I get warm, but I do not sweat. No underarm sweat, nothing.....

Hi Everyone,
I got tm at the thoracic level (T4-5),but when I perspire on
my face,one side gets red and moist,the other stays pale and dry. No one has
ever had an explanation for this.A couple of docs even suggested that maybe I
always had this and just noticed it after tm!
