Thanks for the suggestion about the support hose.  My right foot and my stomach 
swell.
What helps bloating of the stomach?  I have cut my Lyrica down to 2x 
(75mg) from 
3x a day, but it hasn't helped the swelling any.  My legs still burn a little, 
but today I got sunburned and they are on fire now!  Lots of rest and sleep 
help 
me the most.  Guess I'd better go to bed now and see if I can go to sleep.
Have a wonderful day!
Priscilla

I think you are right about that Todd because I can feel the burning subside 
when I put on my support hose. It will also cause my urine bag to fill faster 
as 
my legs give up the water from being squeezed by the hose. Just something I 
noticed after I started wearing hose a few years agoCody in Austin

I have notice that my feet are now only 50% swollen and 
I do believe the burning is 50% less.

[TMIC] A very scary observation

2010-09-19 Thread Barbara Alma

Does anyone, other than me, find it very scary to think of somebody who finds 
that they no longer have feeling in their legs and feet but decides to drive 
themselves to the emergency hospital??  I myself was paralyzed waist to toes on 
both sides, so it wouldn't have even been possible for me anyway.  However, I 
have read that at least 2 times recently on this site of people driving 
themselves.  I really have a hard time imagining anyone not phoning for 
emergency services.  

My husband wanted to take me to the hospital right away when this happened to 
me.  I stubbornly thought that it would pass, and after about an hour when it 
didn't, he called our son to come home.  They then decided to call the fire 
department for help to get me down the stairs so he could get me to the 
hospital.  We had about 10 stairs then to exit our home.  I wasn't willing to 
risk he or my son falling and then them having problems as well.  After they 
checked out my vitals and assured they were all fine, they assisted in getting 
me down the stairs and into his truck and Pete drove me to the hospital.  This 
way we didn't have to pay for an ambulance since it wasn't necessary, yeah!

H-structure from about 30¹, first thing in the morning, and the time it took
me to reach the ground after I cut out from the pole.  I was totally calm

When you are actually going through this, your mind is not thinking right.

I booked transit to take me to the hospital. My reasoning was that I was
already in a chair, so what's the worse that could happen? (yeah right)...I
spent ^ weeks in the hospital because of this and am still on full homecare.

Have you ever had an accident where, while it was actually happening, you

to be checked.    We pulled off the side of the road - wide shoulder - and they 
were checking it out.    I had gotten something out of the trunk and was 
standing just
beside the car when I saw a car coming toward me.    I was clearly in his way

both sides, so it wouldn't have even been possible for me anyway.  However, I 
have read that at least 2 times recently on this site of people driving

My husband wanted to take me to the hospital right away when this happened to 
me.  I stubbornly thought that it would pass, and after about an hour when it 
didn't, he called our son to come home.  They then decided to call the fire 
department for help to get me down the stairs so he could get me to the

Hey Priscilla,
If you're able to submerge your sunburn in a bathtub for 30 minutes,
Put 2 cups of Espon Salt into your warm bath water , 
because the water will get colder after a few minutes.
Too bad this doesn't work on burning feet. lol
Hope you're feeling better very soon,

Thanks for the suggestion about the support hose.  My right foot and my stomach 
swell.
What helps bloating of the stomach?  I have cut my Lyrica down to 2x 
(75mg) from 3x a day, but it hasn't helped the swelling any.  My legs still 
burn a little, but today I got sunburned and they are on fire now!  Lots of

It is the right foot that swells, the right arm and hip are larger, and the 
right side of my face is larger than the left side.  It's so strange.  I would 
have trouble pulling up the hose since my hands and arms are so weak and I 
can't 
move my fingers.  My caregiver could do it though.  Thanks, Cody, for the reply.

Priscilla...It seems like everyone with TM has a dominate side of their body in 
terms of pain and other issues related to TM. Mine is my left and it sounds 
like 
yours is the right side. I had to start wearing the hose after I had a huge 
blood clot in my left leg. I also sleep with my feet elevated. When I wake up 
in 
the mornings the skin is lose around my toes. Then I put on my support hose and 
get dressed. When I take them off at bedtime my ankles will start swelling. 
That 
is why I sleep with them elevated.
The hose are very tight and difficult to put on (much harder than pantyhose,  I 
think :). I get the feet on first and then pull them up around my thighs. At 
first it's difficult but it gets much easier after a little practice. Hope that 
helps youCody in Austin

(75mg) from 3x a day, but it hasn't helped the swelling any.  My legs still 
burn a little, but today I got sunburned and they are on fire now!  Lots of 
rest and sleep help me the most.  Guess I'd better go to bed now and see if I 
can go to sleep.
Have a wonderful day!
Priscilla

I think you are right about that Todd because I can feel the burning 
subside when I put on my support hose. It will also cause my urine bag to fill 
faster as my legs give up the water from being squeezed by the hose. Just

  I have been told by my doctor that, Our feet burns more when our 
feet are swollen, as the swelling goes down, our feet will not burn as much.  
  I have notice that my feet are now only 50% swollen and 
  I do believe the burning is 50% less.

I have similar feelings too in my feet.A couple of weeks 
ago I spilt some juice on my foot and my neice grabbed a cloth and started 
washing it off.   My foot really
started spasming - scared us both. I hate it when I am 
walking and the bottom of my foot will start to spasm - it almost makes you 
fall.

My feet burn too, in fact, lately I cannot dry the bottoms of 
them with a towel as it causes a very uncomfortable feeling.  I do know that 
since I have been taking 150mg of Lyrica 2x a day, the burning is not so bad.  
They are just cold all the time.  Even when it is smokin hot outside, the feet, 
they stay cold!

Wasn't necessary?!? Yaa. I was upstairs when my legs 
decided to give out and I yelled down to my husband that I think I have a 
problem.We have 14
stairs, so I butt walked down with Eddy right in front of me and me 
holding onto his jean pockets. Then he half carried me to the car and off 
we went to the ER.
I could not have driven in that condition.In Missouri, if they

Does anyone, other than me, find it very scary to think of somebody who 
finds that they no longer have feeling in their legs and feet but decides to 
drive themselves to the emergency hospital??  I myself was paralyzed waist to 
toes on both sides, so it wouldn't have even been possible for me anyway.  
However, I have read that at least 2 times recently on this site of people 
driving themselves.  I really have a hard time imagining anyone not phoning for 
emergency services.  

My husband wanted to take me to the hospital right away when this 
happened to me.  I stubbornly thought that it would pass, and after about an 
hour when it didn't, he called our son to come home.  They then decided to call 
the fire department for help to get me down the stairs so he could get me to 
the hospital.  We had about 10 stairs then to exit our home.  I wasn't 
willing to risk he or my son falling and then them having problems as well.  
After they checked out my vitals and assured they were all fine, they assisted 
in getting me down the stairs and into his truck and Pete drove me to the 
hospital.  This way we didn't have to pay for an ambulance since it wasn't 
necessary, yeah!

  Hey Priscilla,
  If you're able to submerge your sunburn in a bathtub for 30 minutes,
  Put 2 cups of Espon Salt into your warm bath water , 
  because the water will get colder after a few minutes.
  Too bad this doesn't work on burning feet. lol
  Hope you're feeling better very soon,

Re: [TMIC] E-mail duplicates

2010-09-19 Thread kimharrison325



Janice you are correct,,, maybe this will help 



Hitting reply ALL only works if it is an original email from the Digest. once 
we start having more repliies added to subjects then the person that replied 
will get two emails if reply all is hit. 



by hitting reply all the response sent will pop up  two times in the person 
who just replied/sent the email their email box because your email address is 
included in the digest list and your email is listed seperatly on the reply. 



 what needs to be done is when  hit reply all is to remove the individual 
names/email address so it does not send 2 times. 

once to the emial address and once because that persons email address is on the 
Diegest. 



when replying if you  use just thereply  button the the email will ONLY go to 
the person that sent it and the entire digest list will NOT see a response. 



Example being - 

Jamice email is listed in the TO: 

Bobby Jim is listed in the CC and the tmis-list is also in the CC 



which means Janice will get two times, once as her email address and once 
because hers in on the eskimo list.
