[TMIC] signs of 2nd attack

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Regina,
Sorry, but I just don't know what the signs of a 2nd attack would be.  Have you 
checked on the internet or in the TMA literature?  It seems like it would be 
just the same as the first time, but I don't know.  Maybe someone else here (on 
the TMIC) can give you some answers - 
My GUESS is, though, that the funny feelings on the bottom of your feet is just 
the nerves coming back, but they're just not working like they should (which is 
common for a lot of us).  I think several of us have 'funny feelings' on the 
bottom of our feet.  One girl said it feels like 'sand pads' - that's kind of 
how I feel - like it's kinda numb, kinda swollen and soft.  But I don't know 
about the 'gravelly' feeling you have. And it changes from time to time.  It 
sounds similar to what other people have said, though, so I don't think it's a 
sign of another attack.  But of course, I'm no authority!   One thing I've 
noticed is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the quirky symtoms - no 
specific order of progression!  You just never know from one day to the next 
what you might be feeling!  Sometimes when I feel weird things, I just try to 
think of it as my body trying to heal - at least it's a positive thought.

Re: [TMIC] hot feet/shoes/croc style and I'm back

[Balmatmic]

Hello all,
 
I'm back from a great time with the grandchildren in  Orlando.  It was touch 
and go for the first day or two.  We were all  tired from the cross country 
flight, arriving past midnight and the airlines  lost my wheelchair, yet again. 
 
We had a very tight connection, only 40  minutes, so I didn't have them gate 
check/retrieve it for me in Denver where we  connected, but asked them to 
check it all the way through to Orlando.  When  we arrived in Orlando, the 
chair 
was left in Denver.  That took almost 2  hours to figure out, so by the time we 
got into our rental car, with an airline  wheelchair, it was 3am.  Then, 
after checking into our resort, almost 4am  before we could crawl into bed.  At 
least our body clocks were on west  coast time, so not too bad.  
 
The next day I was eager to hit Disney's Wild Animal Park, so  we arrived 
around noon to a crowd of people and a lot of heat and  humidity.  My husband 
was 
cranky, as well as the youngest grandson.   Not the best way to start a 
vacation, but it got better from there.  We  really enjoyed spending the time 
with 
them, and think they did too.  We are  all very lucky people to have each 
other and to be able to spend special time  together.  We're looking forward to 
some more time this summer, as we have  to work around the school calendar.  
I've grown to hate that darned  calendar.   
 
I bought some "croc type" shoes while away, and just love  them.  They are 
so comfy and lightweight.  Like walking on  air, no weight at all to 
them.  I also wore them in the swim pool since my  feet are very sensitive to 
the 
pressure on the bottom of the pool.  The  shoes made the difference, and I 
even managed to do some "faux swimming" in  them.  I never really learned how 
to 
swim, and now don't have the leg  strength to do so properly.  I have a lousy 
kick, but even with the shoes  on, it didn't feel any different.  I highly 
recommend them.  I bought  a generic brand, Sahara, for $12 in Orlando.  I was 
chicken and got  the navy ones, but I think I'll invest in a colorful one next. 
 My  left foot is the hottest, and it does feel a bit hot and sticky on the 
bottom  only.  It's definately tolerable though, and the little nubby things on 
the  sole don't bother at all.  I cannot wear the strap though, as the 
fastener  irritates my ankle.
 
It looks like the list has been pretty busy, so it'll take me  a while till I 
can get through our old emails.
 
Hugs to all, 
 

Barbara Alma

Re: [TMIC] Hello to all

Natalie M.,
 
I am so sorry to hear that you got bedsores while in the  hospital.  They 
should have been turning you on a regular basis.  I  think I was little 
overzealous about getting bedsores, when I was in the  hospital.
 
I had a friend was very dear to me, who died a couple months  before I went 
into the hospital.  She died from a very bad bed sore.   I was horrified to 
hear she had died from something that could have been  prevented.  The father 
of 
another good friend of mine, died from a bed sore  while in the hospital.  She 
was devastated!
 
I was in three different hospitals and a nursing facility,  before I came 
home (over a year).  I was very adamant about them turning  me.  Sometimes I 
couldn't even sleep, for watching the clock.  July 2  will  be two years since 
I 
went into the hospital, and I'm happy to say  that I have not had a bed sore 
yet.
 
Natalie, I hope they are able to find the cause of your pain  and alleviate 
it.  Wishing you good health.

Re: [TMIC] improvement

[Heather & Pieter]

I agree with you Sally.  I'm now almost at year 4 and this past year I have 
found that on a lot of days I have more energy.  I think part of it is that I 
started driving again last Spring.  I don't go out a lot and do pick the time 
of day - when I'm not tired - when there is the least amount of traffic (which 
is getting harder all the time since Calgary has now gone to over one million 
people) - and when I know that whatever I'm going to do I'll still have the 
energy to drive myself home again.  I do realize that not all of us will be 
able to drive again but any little thing I can now do that I couldn't do 4 
years ago is a big step for me.  

I was also told while in hospital that wherever I was at the TWO year mark is 
most likely where I would stay.  Small improvements since then are wonderful.

  I was hit with TM in May of 2005.  At the end of one year, I had an

  I think the literature generally says that it takes two years to reach your

many people saying they made improvements after that, too.

  So don't think you can't improve after one year.  That is not necessarily 
where you're going to stay!

  Think positive!

Sally,

I think  I agree with your statement

 

"Unless you feel like you're having another attack, it seems to me that
the original 'attack' of TM is long past and you're just dealing with
the aftermath of the attack and treatment meds, like most of us."

 

I think my neuro's idea is that if the spinal tap shows MS then I can
take treatment to help prevent further MS attacks.  He said that he
hopes it was just a "one time" lesion brought on by a virus but the
spinal tap will show if it is MS and treatment right away would stem any
tide of MS.


My opinion is that iwhat happened to me is just  a one- time idiopathic
occurrence as I have had no brain or spinal changes in three years (
I've had MRIs) and so forget the spinal tap.  Of course, if I get "hit"
down the road with MS I'll wish I had listened to him--so I'm in a
quandry.  I do have good insurance so could just get the spinal tap but
still..

 

Thanks for your input.

Gary, 

I'm no expert here but this sounds concerning to me.  It was my
impression that the spinal tap they did in the ER was to establish if
there was a viral cause of the TM (or was it bacterial? - sorry I always
get the 2 confused).  They even put me on meds just in case and sent the
sample to the mainland to have it tested.  When it came back negative,
they stopped the meds.  I always kind of raise my eyebrows at doc's
giving meds 'just in case'.  

Unless you feel like you're having another attack, it seems to
me that the original 'attack' of TM is long past and you're just dealing
with the aftermath of the attack and treatment meds, like most of us.
It sounds like she wants to treat you as if the inflammation in your
spinal cord just started, rather than recognizing that it was just the
culprit that originated all the problems you have now, leaving you with
a myriad of symptoms to deal with!  It sounds like she's read something
about TM and remembers this piece, but doesn't understand where all the
pieces fit!  But I well may be wrong, here, and welcome differing
opinions!

I was fortunate that the neuro who was in the ER had seen a case
of TM before and had the 1,000 mg/day for 5-days routine of
methyl-prednisone started within 13 or 14 hours of my sudden paralysis.
Within 3 days I could wiggle a muscle in my knee, and went from there.
On the other hand, she doesn't seem to know anything about the aftermath
of symptoms I deal with, and seems to think if I can stand up and walk,
everything's fine.  But hey, you can't have everything!  At least I'm
not still paralyzed!

Good luck,
Sally

RE: [TMIC] fatigue

[Sandra Brassil]

I take amphetamine salt combo (adderall) 15 mg 1 - 2x daily.  My neuro
says I vibrate when I'm on it.  It was a very hard drug for me to handle
at first.  I got a "high" from it.  I started out on 5 mg and worked my
way up.  Sometimes I split it in half.  It helps with my fatigue very
well.   I lost all the weight I gained from the TM over the years!  

I'm actually trying to wean off it now, because I want to go back on
Provigil, which my new insurance covers with approval.  

The side effects can take a toll on you.  I get too hyper. I suppose
it's not a good drug to be on for years anyways. 

Provigil worked well for me and I didn't have any side effects.

that actually helped with fatigue?

 

I read on this list from several still talking about their
fatigue so I know it is a problem with many as it is me.

 

I am still working and, as my Dr. says, I am in "limbo" (still
o.k. enough to work yet having a hard time doing it but not bad enough
for disability). 

 

 Prescriptions I have tried have only been for spacisity and
didn't help with fatigue.

 

Any ideas I could present to him?

RE: RE: [TMIC] improvement

[Robert Pall]

I have had TM for 10 years. In my case the vast majority of
improvement did take place during the first year. I see Dr Kerr annually
and he always states that I am doing better from year to year. Funny but
I don't feel better since the end of year one, but my body has made
adjustments for my condition and I therefore walk better each year.
However the discomfort, fatigue and a multitude of other problems have
remained fairly constant. New meds such as 4-aminopyridine (potassium
channel blocker) and Lyrica have helped with some of the
banding,numbness and pins and needles, but I do not feel that my body
has regenerated or truly improved since the end of year one. I exercise
regularly and try to keep a positive attitudebut for the most part I
have accepted my condition and assume it will be with me the rest of my
life. I always hold out hope for a medical breaktrough such as stem
cells, but I refuse to put my life (59 years old) on hold waiting for
the cure. I give thanks that I am one of the lucky ones that are still
able to work, walk and live a relatively normal life. For those people
who have made true progress after year one, you have beat the odds and I
hope the trend continues!

that yes, it will help and yes I will improve. I have to believe that!

Great e-mails this week.. I've learned a lot! Thanks

Subject: [TMIC] improvement

 

I just saw an email from someone saying that their doctor told them that
wherever they are in one year is about where they'll stay.

I was hit with TM in May of 2005.  At the end of one year, I had an
appointment with a physiatrist.  Today - after the end of my second year, I
saw the same physiatrist and she said I'd made tremendous improvements since
she saw me a year ago (and I have - not that I don't still have a ways to
go!  :)  So obviously, I didn't stay where I was at the end of one year -
Thank Goodness!  

I think the literature generally says that it takes two years to reach your
maximum healing - whatever that might be.  But even then, I've seen emails
from many people saying they made improvements after that, too.

So don't think you can't improve after one year.  That is not necessarily
where you're going to stay!

Think positive!
