[TMIC] TM and Pilates
I was diagnosed with transverse myelitis in May 2009. My symptoms developed over a few days and I was discharged from hospital after 6 weeks with partial recovery in my right arm but have residual numbness and tightness through most of my body. I have progressed to getting about with a wheely walker and am wondering whether a Pilates class could be beneficial. Another suggestion has been accupuncture. Once the initial flurry of interest in me as an 'unusual' case had died down, I felt abandoned and left to my own devices by the British National Health. Any recommendations on the above would be welcome. Iris
Re: [TMIC] TM and Pilates
I had the event in 2005. - was told 'looks like early m s' and treated. Told I probably would never use right leg again - told pt would not help. Struggled to walk and pee for years - went for pt anyway (after 2nd opioin) - given a transverse mylophy - ediopathic 'explantation' in 06. Now, no symptoms, tests all perfect, and I am told that I don't have ms or tm and they don't know what happened or why. --Original Message-- From: I Whiddett To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] TM and Pilates Sent: Feb 12, 2010 6:32 AM I was diagnosed with transverse myelitis in May 2009.

Re: [TMIC] OT Prayer Request
My pleasure Kevin, prayers are on the way. I have recently seen first hand, yet again, how the power of prayer can be so powerful when our son Daniel was so ill and he recovered so perfectly. Please keep in touch about your mom and take care of yourself during this stressful time.

Re: [TMIC] TM and Pilates
Hi Iris, I have a Pilates machine and a recumbent bike. I use them both, at different times, the Pilates is great for core stregthening and the bike good for the legs on me. There is so much on the Pilates that I don't do and may never be able to do, but what I do really does help and I modify most of what the tape shows. It can be difficult to get up and down off of though if I am tired or do too much. I think it would be good for you to go to a studio that has a person who could have a one on one chat with you so that you can talk about your strengths and weaknesses and can see how your body moves. Many studios have them raised off the floor, but some don't. If you attend a class, you will need to do only certain exercises as some will probably be too strenuous for you. They may move from one exercise to another faster than you will be able to move to and you may have to do a modified version of the exercise. With a session ahead of time, you'll have all of that worked out and you'll know if it'll work for you. You may decide after this to get one of your own and then work on your own at home. Actually, I bought my Pilates new through Ebay, but the Total Gym can also be used as a Pilates, and so much more. Does anyone do that? I second guessed that decision after purchasing the Pilates. Much more versatile I think.
