I have had TM for12 years, since 2000. I continue to improve. I had
terrible pain in my upper body, particularly arms and hands, burning
pain. I have used massage therapy extensively. At first I could hardly
stand to be touched. I took high doses(3000-3600mg) of Neurontin which
made life barely liveable. After awhile , 6-8 years, my pain started
to diminish some. I still have numbness but the pain is minor in
comparison to what it once was. I continue weekly massage. I also
started on a meal plan last Nov that cuts out all sugar and I can't
believe how much that has helped with my muscle and joint pain as well
as spasms. The nutritionist is Karen Hurd, you can find her online.
She has helped many people. My friends can't believe how much more I
can do. It has been a rough 12 years but i am so grateful for every
bit of improvement. I also was very depressed for many years and
hardly moved from my chair and still struggle with depression. I try
to find beauty in nature. Keep trying new things. I don't write in
often but certainly have appreciated this group over the years. sue
