Re: [TMIC] Re: humble pie
AOL EmailG'day Jude, My sweet words? You are too kind I think. I have been here, reading of your progress and sending you good thoughts. In March, I moved to our farm with my elder son, my daughter in law and three grandsons. We have 90 acres of rolling hills with Alpaca, beef, Boar Goats and Damara Sheep. I'm loving it but not as accepting as I used to be of my limitations. I really just want to get out there and do things but then I just go and make some clay gear and some jewellery and issue some orders and so I just roll along again. If anyone is interested, I'm happy to send links to my online photo album so you can see my little piece of paradise. Just send me an email. I'm happy to see your posts again Jude, it's good to know that you are up to doing that. hugs, Gilly - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 5:21 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Re: humble pie Gilly, We have all missed you.

[TMIC] Email
While talking to Pam today, she mentioned that a couple of people claimed that I was not answering my email. I absolutely answer every piece of mail that I get. If your email goes unanswered for a day or two it is because I am too sick to get on the computer, but I will answer you as soon as I am able. I am so sorry if I have been lax in answering when you email me. Please don't keep that from sending me mail. I live for it. You are all so important to me and my well-being. I love each and every one of you and keep you always in my Prayers. Peace, Jude **Play online games for FREE at Games.com!

I heard from him back in June when I sent him a birthday greeting. His oldest son had had a heart attack but had a stent put in and was due to go back to work soon. His little grandson, Dane, whom some of you will remember praying for when he had heart surgery at five weeks of age, is now two, was scheduled for a second aortic heart valve operation in July (it just occurred to me that I never followed up to see how that went.)

Re: [TMIC] face/hand numbness if you know or have experience - I need some feedback
Randy, I was pretty busy yesterday and just read your email today. I hope by now you have checked into your new symptoms. I was told by my neurologist, family doctor and from others on this list that we may have ups and downs of the SAME symptoms but new systems should be looked into. Let us know what you find out how you are doing. Gary in Michigan - Original Message - From: randy rankin To: TM Group Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2008 8:51 AM Subject: [TMIC] face/hand numbness if you know or have experience - I need some feedback This is new. It started yesterday and I have it now. My face, starting around the temporal region extending to around the zygomatic area on both sides,followed by my forehead and lips, then down to my chin down the front neck, followed by the pariatal region of my head started feeling numb superficially. I could touch any part with my fingers and felt everything but I still had this strange numb like feeling. I could actually feel and follow the numbing pattern moving from one area to the next. I was in school, doctorate class as this began happening and I commented to three of my class mates. They just looked at me funny and went back to their school work and never mentioned it again. Next my fingers started feeling numb. But they were still working and I could touch them and feel both my touching and being touch but this odd numbing feeling was there. Then my forearm started doing the same thing and that was it. Nothing else anywhere. This last for hours and then just went away. My vertigo was back and more apparent than ever. This time, if I sat down, even slowly, I got incredibly wozzy or a hard rush. As I walked, I felt like I was walking across one of those bouncy bridges at an amusement part. I just could figure out what to do to make it just disappear. I also, for the first time started moving towards the right and crashing into things and people. It was if a pull was taking off to the right when I tried to walk. It is kinda like being tippsy without the benifits. The vergito isn't as bad as a few weeks ago and so far, until yesterday, I was attributing the oddness to an ear infection because I could not find any information anywhere that related it to a neurological problem and I really only got responses from a few people and only one really seem to maybe suggest that this is neurological so I thought probably this is just my imagination. I've already been told that I demonstrate hypodchodria by my psyc specialist. This was DIFFERENT from like when your feet go to sleep. It didn't hurt and it was not painful. It FELT LIKE I had taken a bunch of Niacin but I had taken nothing or that I had been to the denist and the shot was just starting to take effect. This morning, it was back. My forehead, lips and cheeks have a numbing and an odd COLD/HOT sensation. I preceive a warmingness but at the same time it feels like a cold. It is like holding a ice cube to my cheeks and forehead for too long. I am going to the neuro for sure this week. I would have gone sooner but my insurance company sent a letter saying that my insurance was cancil but in fact, they just switch providers. I went out and bought my own insurance - now I have two insurance companies. Those crazy people could have messed me up! I need some feed back. This is totally freaking me out. I need to know if others have experience anything like this before. I have heard about numb butts and a few other things but I don't recall anyone having these kinds of symptoms so I am wondering what is causing it and why it came for a long time, went away and now it is back again. If it is a neurological problem, shouldn't it just stay rather than go away and come back?

Trudy - Researchers at the University of Cambridge said they have found that alemtuzumab, a drug originally developed . LONDON (AFP) - Researchers at the University of Cambridge said Thursday they have found that a drug originally developed to treat leukaemia can halt and even reverse the debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis (MS). In trials, alemtuzumab reduced the number of attacks in sufferers and also helped them recover lost functions, apparently allowing damaged brain tissue to repair so that individuals were less disabled than at the start of the study. The ability of an MS drug to promote brain repair is unprecedented, said Dr Alasdair Coles, a lecturer at Cambridge university's department of clinical neurosciences, who coordinated many aspects of the study. We are witnessing a drug which, if given early enough, might effectively stop the advancement of the disease and also restore lost function by promoting repair of the damaged brain tissue. The MS Society, Britain's largest support charity for those affected by the condition, said it was delighted at the trial's results, which must be followed up with more research before the drug can be licensed. This is the first drug that has shown the potential to halt and even reverse the debilitating effects of MS and this news will rightly bring hope to people living with the condition day in, day out, said head of research Lee Dunster. MS is an auto-immune disease that affects millions of people worldwide, including almost 100,000 in Britain and 400,000 in the United States. It is caused by the body's immune system attacking nerve fibres in the central nervous system, and can lead to loss of sight and mobility, depression, fatigue and cognitive problems. There is no cure, and few effective treatments. In the trial, 334 patients diagnosed with early-stage relapsing-remitting MS who had not previously been treated were given alemtuzumab or interferon beta-1a, one of the most effective licensed therapies for similar MS cases. After three years, alemtuzumab was found to reduce the number of attacks the patients suffered by 74 percent over the other treatment, and reduce the risk of sustained accumulation of disability by 71 percent over interferon beta-1a.
