There is also a TM page for mom's and dad's of kids with TM and I believe there
may be one for Teen Kids with TM. I think I belong to all of the groups, except
the Teen's one, b/c it seems that there can be some helpful information on
each one of them. Being a mom of a daughter who became afflicted with TM at the
age of 11, I wanted to learn as much as I could not only for her immediate
future but for her adulthood, etc. She is 19 now, a full time student in a
local college (with a 4.0 GPA) and works with me 2 days a week now scanning old
documents into a computer program. She is one of the "walking wounded". She
had been wheelchair bound for the first 2 years but has been walking, with
forearm crutches, since she participated in an inpatient 8 week treatment plan
at KKI in Baltimore, Md.
I am glad to see more chatter on here now. I read most of the posts on FB but
really get tired of all of the jokes being posted, etc because I have enough
other FB friends that do that on a daily basis. I joined the group for
information, like all of you out there. Glad to see some of the "old" names
pop up in my email inbox again!!
Take care all!

Hi Jude,
There is one page on FB called Living with Transverse Myelitis, this is for TM
sufferers. The second is, Transverse Myelitis Folks which is for caregivers and
TM sufferers, the third is TM-HA, for ladies only. Delicate questions can be
asked and answered amongst us, who have been there and done that. A lot of
people probably don't know how to find this site, I had to google it, and I'm a
regular on the TMA site. I have seen you on one of the FB sites, Jude, don't
ask me which one tho.
Cheers
Shirley (NZ)
