[TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
(This email is serious, like, no kidding) Dear Group, I have partial TM (C6, right side, 6 mm spherical demyelination). I have central pain from my shoulders down, left side has three times as much pain as right side. Recently I became aware that my left hand was slightly swollen, and my fingernail of my left hand were growing faster than on my right hand. Has anyone else noticed anything like what I'm describing? Thanks Frank
RE: [TMIC] BM'ers Club
JANICE - MANY YEARS AGO MY FAVORITE AUNT, WHO HAD MANY MEDICAL PROBLEMS THROUGH THE YEARS, HAD A TEMPORARY COLOSTOMY FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. IT WAS THEN REVERSED AND EVERYTHING WENT WELL AND SHE LIVED OVER 20 SOME YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM WITH IT AND WAS WELL INTO HER 80'S WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY.

Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
*Hi Frank, * *I have significant differences in nail texture, growth and thickness. I believe that in my case, it's attributable to all of the meds that I take including chemo. Hopefully, someone else will have some input for you. * *Grace*
Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
Frank ~ I have noticed a marked difference in my nails lately. I've always had a problem getting them to growthey've always been thin and would break off constantly so I've kept them short. Lately they are beautiful. My toenails have become harder also. What you describe sounds like it may be that you have better circulation inn your left hand than you do on your right. Hopefully someone else will have more info for you. Hugs, Lynn In a message dated 9/9/2009 7:49:34 A.M.

Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
Frank, I have always had the majority of pain on the left side even tho it is the strongest but has the least skin sensation. The right side is the weakest but has from the start had hypersensitivity and I have a hard time walking because the right leg wants to drag. If I 'talk' to it, it will always do better...really, it's true! So far I have had no changes like yours in my hands. I have started a very strong vitamin and my nails have gone crazy growing and are becoming super strong.

Re: [TMIC] Fingernail growth ?
Frank, I was also affected in the C portion of my spine (C2-C4). At first my hands were swollen. I was most affected on my right side, but both arms and hands are affected. Lately I have had more problem with my ankles swelling during the day. They are better after a nights sleep, but swell again during the day. My hands feel swollen, but don't look as swollen as they were for the first few years. I've had TM for over 15 years. I have also noted that my fingernails grow faster and that my toenails are so hard that they are very difficult to cut. (That just might be old age.) All I know is that once you get used to some of the effects of TM others seem to pop up (or is that swell up?) By the way, I also want to join the BM group. I was relieved to hear that I'm not the only one. The doctors just recommend more fiber. I tried Dulcolax, but that almost killed me. Had the runs for over a week from just one dose.

[TMIC] My beloved husband Jim
Jim left his earthly pains and frustrations behind yesterday evening about an hour after being transferred to a hospice house in Davison Michigan. Our children and grandchildren and Alice and Ron,and Mary were all able to spend time with him before his death. I will forever be grateful for the 45 years Jim and I had together and for the wonderful children Jodi husband Dave,their daughter Samantha, husband Steven and baby Samuel. Eric and wife Cindy and their beautiful girls,Mackenzie,Sierra,Kaleigh,and Taylor. A memorial will be held on Saturday Sept.12th at 11:00am at First Congregational Church corner of Fifth and Bancroft, luncheon following. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Transverse Myelitis Assoc. for research to help fight the disease that Jim fought so valiantly to conquer. In the end it was a stroke that took his life.
