[TMIC] Hello all, about me

2010-11-01 Thread PAMELA S

Hello John;  In answer to your question, I was diagnosed in 1992 with pretty 
good recovery except a straight catheter and extreme fatigue with any viral 
infection.  A few years ago I started getting weaker.  In 2000 I had trouble 
with BIH from the high protein in my spinal fluid.  Now all of the sudden I'm 
weak as a kitten and can hardly get around.  The initial hit was between my 
shoulder blades.  My arms weren't effected at first, but they now are.  I've 
continued to work with intermittant leave until last August.  This they call 
Latent TM.  I was told in the beginning, once I got well, it would probably 
stay away.  I still have the feeling that there is a fist gripping between my 
shoulder blades frequently, but the weakness is worse than it's ever been.  I'm 
barely walking, but I am walking.  I fall alot.  Since 1992 some doctors have 
learned about tm but many I've used have no idea.  I was actually laughed at 
once for the burning sensation.  I said give me a felt marker.  I'll mark where 
it burns, and you will find a dermatone diagram standing in front of you.  My 
biggest issue now is how to adjust to disability.  I still have a mortgage over 
my head.  I am a nurse who was working 12 hour shifts on her feet.  My only 
problem was young nurses making fun when a foot dragged or I seemed to be 
tiring out.  Today, I barely make it to 2 in the afternoon before it hurts to 
hold my head up.  PT kills me.  The tiniest exercizes and I can't do anything 
for 2 days without pain.  Somehow this doesn't feel latent to me.  I need all 
the advice I can get, especially on disability issues and lifestyle 
transitions.

does anyone know when TM was first diagnosed--how long it has been around?

 Hello John;  I am new to this site, but I feel the burning.  I also feel it
 around my rib cage along dermatones.  As a result, when I fist had the
 transverse myelitis, my doctors thought I was breaking out with shingles.
 But, I never got the shingle sores.  After it quit burning it itched like
 crazy.  I've had so many doctors tell me they didn't know what this was
 until recently.  So I thought maybe it wasn't that common.

  anybody ever feel a burning sensation in their spine?
 
  we have talked about the legs and feet and things but this burning in my
 spine may be the muscle at the spine but it sure feels like it is in it.
 
  sometime i feel the sensation you felt when they done the spinal tap.
 
  sickening.

I hate that part about the mortgage. im in the same boat. the most i can draw 
from disability is @ 1400. thats before the medicaid insurance is taken out. i 
understand thats @ 100 per month.
i signed that paper for disability but it will be 5b months before i get 
anything from it.
 
trying to work a little meanwhile.
 
totally understand you not being able to stay on your feet.
 
my boss asks me a lot John when did you quit drinking?
 
my answer is always am i supposed to?
 
of course we are both joking.
 
others have watched me and asked someone later was I drunk or what?
 
if i get a small accomplishment done i feel like i have really done something.
my sis-n-law is a nurse and i have several friends who are nurses and they seam 
to understand somewhat of what i am going through,they work on a neurological 
floor at the hospital.
 
My Family Dr told me TM was somethng you see in medical school but never really 
expect to actually deal with it so it is overlooked.
 She told me since i seam to have more information on it than she did that if i 
wanted to do any treatment other than what we were doing to just name it and we 
would try it.
 
nice of her but being the redneck that i am thought it was rather lame.
 
you should get some good feedback in this list.
 
just be patient and dont read any negative emmotion into 
anything,,rememberwe are all or most all on some pretty good medication.
 
did i have the microphone turned on when i said that!
 
OMG!
 
welcome

[TMIC] Lesions

2010-11-01 Thread Carol E

I have a question for those of you who were originally diagnosed with TM and 
having lesions from T7-T10 on one side of your spine.
 
1.  Did you lose feeling just on one side from your waist down?
2.  After a couple years or more, did you start having trouble with your 
opposite leg? (Tingling and tightness)
 
I would appreciate hearing back from you.
