Re: [TMIC] Stem-cell research
Regina, I was referring to being treated when the trials are (hopefully) successfully completed. That is what I thought Patricia meant. I probably mis-read what she wrote. I'm also guessing there will be trials on a wider range of SCI caused diseases. Kevin Regina Rummel wrote: Kevin, I think the trials are on _recently_ injured spinal cord injuries.

It will of course have to prove profitable and we'll see how the insurance companies deal with it. But it's a hopeful start. Kevin Patricia Cooley wrote: KEVIN: IT SOUNDS WONDERFUL.

AOL Email Jude, So good to hear from you personally. My thoughts and prayers are with you still.

Yes, I have an update on myself. But first, thank you all for the love and prayers sent my way. I am sure I could feel the warmth of all of your arms around me and the prayers have worked, because I am now home. The doctors still do not know the names of the bacteria that has invaded my body. They have sent cultures out to U of M in Ann Arbor (A2), but no one can figure out what kind of bacteria they are. I now have several new ones and all the docs say is that the bacteria is colonic in nature, meaning they come from the colon, but they have not been seen before so no one knows how to treat them. There is no problem with sending me to Ann Arbor, but so far it has been sufficient to send the labs, and I agree with that. I am just a tad septic, with an attack of autonomicdysreflexia that caused my blood pressure to plummet. I was talking to Gunny at the time, so it is his fault!!! LOL... My home nurse had just arrived so when she got in the house, Gunny hung up, but he waited online for me, not wanting to leave me alone. The nurse took vitals and my blood pressure was 85/54 and she immediately called 911. I remember nothing after that, but woke up in the hospital later on. They didn't do a whole lot for me in the hospital because the drugs they were giving me were making me feel sick. Each time they tried a new med I would throw it back up at them and so they quit that after a while. The wounds, (pressure sores) are what are infected and now the bones in that vicinity are dx'd as being diseased too, so treatment it very difficult. This time, before sending me home, they took deep biopsies and lots of blood to send to the various labs in the area, including A2. Umm, I have not had much energy. All blood levels are low, except for the ones that are supposed to be low...those are high! Well, folks, I am getting tired and sleepy. So will go for now and catch you up on the rest later. I love and appreciate you all. Jude,

Re: [TMIC] Update on Kim
Kim, I am so happy to hear that your paralysis is not due to your TM. And that it can be repaired. I have had the steroid injections and the disc of my C4, C5 and C6 vertebrae. It did help me for a good while. I'm hoping that if that's the option you choose, that it will help you also. I know what you mean about sleep deprivation from steroids. They affect me the same way. Good luck with whatever option you choose. I will pray for your recovery Naomi C4 quadriplegicdue to Transverse Myelitis since July 2, 2005 In a message dated 1/23/2009 10:37:02 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, kimr1...@bellsouth.net writes: First I would like to thank Jenna for coming to the hospital to help me today (and the visit was great) Nero left and good news the paralysis and stinging in my arms and hands has nothing to do with my TM. The MRI’s they did last night found 3 herniated discs on my neck that is causing spinal cord depression causing my arms and hands to go numb. He called neurosurgeon to come see me tomorrow and let me know what my options will be. So far a friend that had the same this said the least evasive is to inject steroids directly into the disc to stop the bone on bone rub and release the compression on the spinal cord this is good news!!! So this explains why after receiving the first dose of IV steroids my arms and hand improved 90% within 5 hours. If it were TM related the damage can not be reversed! But the herniated disc can be repaired! So YIPPIE!!! Down side right now is with all the steroids I have not slept at ALL since I go up Wed at 6:30 am, serious best I have done is a 20 minute nap today! They gave me morphine and Ambian sleep pills tonight so hoping I get some sleep tonight! I am starting to feel like a zombie going thru the motions, getting harder to focus with sleep deprivation. Will post what Nero-surgeon says once I hear from them tomorrow Again thanks for the one on one email I have gotten the concern and advice mean a lot to me What a great second family we all have in each other!
