[TMIC] Hey all
Just wondering if anyone knows why the like to respond to postings no longer shows up on emails? It sure made it alot easier for me to reply than having to log on to site to do it. One of the recent postings really hit home with me. It mentioned being labled a hypocondriac. I spent over a year trying to find out what was wrong with me when I first got TM and I think that label was alot of the problem. The primary care doctor I was seeing at the time decided it was all in my head and I am pretty sure he passed that information on to all of the other doctors I demanded he send me to. Lynne
Re: [TMIC] question about post
I think that is a wonderful idea Jeanne... kind of no different than when someone puts something like NWS for Not Work Safe when they are sending something not appropriate to be viewed or read while at work. Thanxx for the idea..

[TMIC] truth in labeling
Good Morning from Montreal, I agree with Sally!! We need to develop code which will be put in the subject line: We use OT for off topic. We need to come up with an abbreviation for blessings, and other religious stuff. How about PTL (praise the lord)? GBY (God Bless You)?? And Mature (Adult) matters such as lack of sex, too much sex, trouble recharging batteries, erectile dysfunction- which has it's own (ED)- orgasmic dysfunction, allodynia making physical intimacy impossible...I could go on and on. Let us pick MM (Mature Matures). Then we have Dirty topics dealing with urine, bladders, feces, colon and we should add bed sores- I hate reading about bed sores!!. How about a simple DT (Dirty Topic) I can't think of any more, so please help me Your humble savant, pHranq3ue
RE: [TMIC] truth in labeling
I cannot believe how much discussion this topic has yielded. This is not that difficultsimply do not discuss non TM matters with the group. I have no problem with a member discussing spiritualiy as a form of coping with our condition...simply leave out religion, politics, jokes etc. from the site. These are topics you can share with specific members...but not to the entire list. We should always consider how a new member looking for information will respond to non TM issues. We have had numerous cases of members unsubscribing due to these emails.The so called dirty topics are certainly not dirty...but simply problems related to the condition and do not need to be labeled mature. All we must do is stay on topic and use common sense.

Fw: [TMIC] question about post
I don't know what all the fuss is about either Jeanne, we have had for many moons now an agreement that anything that is not TM related is simply prefaced with OT in the subject line. In the early days of life with TM for me, it was mostly the OT topics that saved my sanity. Not the religious or political mails but certainly the silly ones, laughter is always the best medicine, no matter what your problem is. Like Phran3que, I suffer central neuropathic pain and after 7 years of not one second without the unrelenting pain, I still love to laugh. There is always a lot of information about drugs etc on here and it really takes very little effort to hit the delete button.

Re: [TMIC] truth in labeling
Six years ago, I was a new person to the list and despite all the off topic posts I found out so much about TM, I found a new family and many many friends and I had a damn good laugh which helped so much.

Re: [TMIC] question about post
Hi, Gilly, I think I've been part of the TMIC and when I first came on, there was a spirited discussion of some kind then but because there was so much caring between those involved, I watched caring hearts work it out so it is like a family. Things come up?? We work it out!!! j
Re: [TMIC] question about post
Yep, that is exactly how it is! For the fairly new to the list family, you should know that in general, the old Timers who stay on the list to help are those who have not had a full recovery, so, like you, we are suffering. Those who have stayed only for a short time, are usually those who have had a most significant recovery. We stay, we post in good faith and in the spirit of a close family who care for each other but don't always agree. hugs Gilly - Original Message - From: jrushton To: Gillian Clark ; tmic Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 9:30 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] question about post Hi, Gilly, I think I've been part of the TMIC and when I first came on, there was a spirited discussion of some kind then but because there was so much caring between those involved, I watched caring hearts work it out so it is like a family.

Re: [TMIC] Hey all
Hi Lynn and all, I too was labeled a hypochondriac but a drug addict as well. Doctors said to me, You're paralyzed and don't have sensation...how can you say you feel pain? After seven years of indifferent and unbelieving docs, I have finally found a caring and supportive physician who understands me and treats me like a sane individual with real physical pain and TM issues. I hope you all keep trying new doctors until you find one who is not off in la-la-land. Your friend, Jude In a message dated 10/28/2008 8:20:02 A.M.
