Hi Kim,
I hear you. I live on Long Island, NY so the winters are better than the northern states. I have not worn socks for over 4 years, don't know how many I tried. I have to wear shoes for work. Only ones I can tolerate for short periods of time are the Easy Spirit Traveltime shoes. They are like a clog, quick release when your feet are screaming, get OFF of me. I take them off at my desk, when driving the car in the summer and every moment I can. I dream of the day I can wear socks to warm my feet. I'll dream for you too. Even a blanket on top of them while watching TV hurts. Make it a great day, Deb From: Kim Harrison [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 10:15 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TMIC] Re: Subscribe My wish is for someday to be able to wear sock or shoes.. and winter is a pain barefoot, but the pain of anything touching my feet is unbearable.. _____ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Thu, January 24, 2013 9:08:56 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Re: Subscribe I am wearing socks and leg warmers right now along with my TED boots that hold my feet up in bed. Plus, I have a sheet and two blankets on, and a quilt when I go to bed. Jude Michigan In a message dated 1/24/2013 4:46:29 P.M.

I am working my ========= off to keep us up and running. Neither Jim Lubin or Sam Siegel are interested in doing anything with us anymore so it is just me trying like hell to keep things interesting. However, I am running out of ideas to talk about and need your help. I just got an email today from a lady who is interested in joining us, so I sent her the info. Help!

Internet Club. The reason I like this site is that we talk about TM and the medicines and conditiions we have. I am not looking to make friends (although that is a plus). I just want to share information that may help us cope with this awful condition. As for me I have always believed that the cause of my TM was excess stress which probably caused my immune system to overreact to some minor illness like a summer cold.....that being said no doctor can say what caused any of us to have TM....I myself decided it was stress....everyone one of us thinks he knows the cause of TM ...but none of us do! All the best and happy to see this site in action once again!

I am really punishing myself to find topics for us to talk about. What can you think of that is pertinent toTM? Love you, Jude In a message dated 1/23/2013 7:20:44 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Hi Jude I've always wondered if I somehow snuk in under the radar of TMIC. When I was diagnosed with TM 3 1/2 yrs ago it was all new and very frightening and I had very little help or info from the doctors. While looking for help on the Internet, I was lucky enough to find the group and finally began to understand what had happened but, like most us, not why it had happened! So, thanks for taking on board what seems to be a lone voice from the UK and for all the kind words of encouragement and advice.
