[TMIC] the run around

2011-06-01 Thread jeff bernier

hello,i havnt posted on here in years,recognise most of you and see alot of new 
names,just thought i would throw this out there and see what you all think.
in  feb 2000,i fell through a staircase fighting a fire and landed on my  
heels,i had a shockwave go up my spine and went over on my head.had no  sighns 
of numbness or the pins and needles untill 3 weeks later,it got  so bad i 
started falling on my face and became so weak the wheelchair  was the only 
other 
option,i was given all the ms test and came up  neg,but they found lesions on 
my 
c spine and were extremely quick to  call what i had transverse myelitis ( 
inflamation of the spinal chord  ).through the course of 5 years,i went through 
all the crap that comes  with ms,everything from spasms,bladderdisfunct,sexual 
problems etc etc  and experienced every range of emotion there is.in 2005 i was 
dx with ms  after a positive lp and a small lesion on the brain,the lesions on 
the c  spine were gone and i thought i was finally going to get some  
answers.well in jan i had a repeat mri done and found the spot on the  brain is 
still there,but was told the spinal fluid they took in 2005  showed no sighns 
of 
demyl and they changed my dx back to tm.now how  frustrating is that? 11 
years,22 doctors,3 major hospital centers and 15  therapy centers later to be 
put back to square 1 with still no answers.what a circus.

Quick question to anyone that may know my mom's lesion is on t12 is there a 
difference on the location on your spine as far as tm goes?  This may be a dumb 
question.  Also has anyone found anything that works for the severe burning she 
has on her feet?  All of the medication she is on gives her no relief.

 Hi,
You're right,it is a circus. 
I got tm on 8/13/95. MRI showed lesion from T4-T5. Started out paralyzed

 on left side. I have bladder/bowel problems,spasms,numbness and tingling. I 
 walk with a walker. 
A year or so after dx. I had a flare-up and had another MRI. The original 
 lesion was gone. My dx remains tm. I've never had an LP.
Are your docs planning another LP? Why do they say there is not any sign 
 of demyl from the spinal fluid? Isn't that what made them think (along with 
 the spot on the brain) it was MS? I'm confused!

Re: [TMIC] the run around

2011-06-01 Thread Dalton Garis
Pleased to meet you, Jeff;

Your story has some similarities with my own.

I was working as a construction lineman in 1970, when I fell the last 30
feet of a 95 footer, climbing down.  Smashed the lower back, was paralyzed
in the left leg, bladder and some other stuff for a while, until a series of
operations brought motor control back.  It left me with lots of permanent
difficulties and some episodic ones that were just as bad.  But I could
walk, got an education, and finally settled in much later on, as associate
professor of economics.

A year and a half ago, after flue-like symptoms, I awoke one morning and had
lost control of my lower left side‹the side paralyzed after the accident.  I
got mostly better; then had another similar attack six weeks later.  Then
another one in another six weeks.  MS, right?  I then started having
seizure-like attacks.  My entire back side would contract; then the front
side would contract, again.  I couldn't breathe during the contractions and
turned beet-red in the face.  Sometimes I awoke from sleep not being able to
breathe without sitting up, and have also had trouble getting the swallowing
thing to work sometimes.  I might wake up all sweaty and very sore, having
had an attack during sleep.

After the first attack of contractions I was diagnosed with Transverse
Myelitis by an Indian doctor with lots of experience.  They didn't take
spinal taps or MRIs because I have 7 fusions and steel rods in the back, so
they were relying on his considerable experience.

The following summer doctors at Columbia-Presbyterian, who were able to
perform MRIs but not a spinal tap,  were not so sure that it was ever TM or
MS.  They didn't find any spinal or brain lesions, but only some anomalies
in the brainstem.  I still have these severe episodes of seizure-like
symptoms‹the EEG found no obvious epilepsy, but suggested that as a
possibility‹that get worse under any kind of physical or mental stress.  TM
doesn't hold on like that after the acute stage has passed, I'm told.

Stiff Person Syndrome? MS? Chronic Lyme disease? Lead paint and mercury
poisoning from childhood? Exposure to solvents in the workplace?  Don't
know.  I do know that I have real symptoms and need real results to deal
with them.

Thankfully, the medications that treat one of these CNS conditions are also
used in treating all the others, and mostly make life bearable.  I have this
sack of physical difficulties; as long as the meds take care of the problem
then I'll let the medical existentialists worry about names and origins.
For me, the expensive, painful, frustrating and time-consuming medical
odyssey to find out what it is, isn't worth the cost, as long as they
already have reasonable certainty that it is likely something like a, or
b, and the treatment regime is working, even working just so-so; because
if they do find out exactly what it is, the meds will still work only so-so.
That's a certainty, as we will never be symptom-free as we once were.

I am in full agreement with my neurologist's theory‹now supported to some
extent by your story‹that a combination of physical damage from the accident
and follow-on spinal difficulties simply overloaded the central nervous
system's ability to cope.  There could also have been some brainstem damage
from lead paint in the house, and mercury poisoning, since Mother was unable
to keep me from playing in the big pile of coal across the street.  So, when
a mild case of TM came along, that was all that was needed to take me down,
like going from fiber-optic broadband to copper wire dial-up.  And now, I'm
not getting any younger, nor any slimmer, putting even more pressure on
things.  

So, it is not likely only one thing at this point, but a combination of the
accident, TM, heavy metals, head injuries‹did I mention those?‹and the aging
process.  Throw in a little spinal arthritis, and then those insignificant
daily strains, one after another, are enough to give days of pain and
symptoms.

I hope this helps.  There do seem to be a number of us who have experienced
serious or life-changing accidental physical damage to our spines who have
gone on to develop TM, don't there?

Let me know if I can share anything more,

Dalton

The higher the lesion the more dangerous it is since it effects everything

any sign of demyl from the spinal fluid? Isn't that what made them think (along 
with the spot on the brain) it was MS? I'm confused!

hello,i havnt posted on here in years,recognise most of you and see 
alot of new names,just thought i would throw this out there and see what you 
all think.
in feb 2000,i fell through a staircase fighting a fire and landed 
on my heels,i had a shockwave go up my spine and went over on my head.had no 
sighns of numbness or the pins and needles untill 3 weeks later,it got so bad i 
started falling on my face and became so weak the wheelchair was the only other 
option,i was given all the ms test and came up neg,but they found lesions on my 
c spine and were extremely quick to call what i had transverse myelitis ( 
inflamation of the spinal chord ).through the course of 5 years,i went through 
all the crap that comes with ms,everything from spasms,bladderdisfunct,sexual 
problems etc etc and experienced every range of emotion there is.in 2005 i was 
dx with ms after a positive lp and a small lesion on the brain,the lesions on 
the c spine were gone and i thought i was finally going to get some 
answers.well in jan i had a repeat mri done and found the spot on the brain is 
still there,but was told the spinal fluid they took in 2005 showed no sighns of 
demyl and they changed my dx back to tm.now how frustrating is that? 11 
years,22 doctors,3 major hospital centers and 15 therapy centers later to be 
put back to square 1 with still no answers.what a circus.

Please take  time to at least read this  the first hand  accounts, than

She  can lead her present life the way she wants and  perhaps SHE can

she

Never  Forgive A Traitor

For those of you too  young to remember Hanoi Jane is a bad person and  did
some terrible things during the Vietnam  war.  Things that can not  be
forgiven

For those who served  and/or died. . .

NEVER FORGIVE A TRAITOR.  SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR!!

and now OBAMA  wants to honor her..

In Memory of  LT. C.Thomsen Wieland  who spent 100 days  at the Hanoi Hilton

IF YOU NEVER  FORWARDED ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FORWARD THIS SO  THAT EVERYONE
WILL KNOW!!

She really  is a traitor.

A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE  HONORED KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS  AMERICA

This is for all the kids born in  the 70's and after who do not remember,  
and
didn't have to bear the burden that our  fathers, mothers and older brothers
and  sisters had to bear..

Jane Fonda is being  honored as one of the '100 Women of the  Century.'



BARBRA WALTERS  WRITES:


Unfortunately, many have  forgotten and still countless others have  never
known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only  the idea of our country, but specific
men who  served and sacrificed during  Vietnam


The first part of this is  from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is  Jerry
Driscoll, a River Rat.   

In 1968, the former  Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW  in Ho
Lo Prison the ' Hanoi Hilton.'

Dragged from  a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and  dressed in
clean PJ's, he was ordered to  describe for a visiting American  'Peace
Activist' the 'lenient and humane  treatment' he'd received.


He spat at  Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away.  During the
subsequent beating, he fell  forward on to the camp Commandant 's feet,  
which
sent that officer berserk.

In  1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from  double vision (which
permanently ended his  flying career) from the Commandant's  frenzied
application of a wooden  baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry  Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent  6
years in the ' Hanoi Hilton',,, the first  three of which his family only 
knew
he was  'missing in action'. His wife lived on faith  that he was still 
alive.
His group, too, got  the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in  preparation
for a 'peace delegation' visit.  

They,  however, had time and devised a plan to get word  to the world that
they were alive and still  survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of  
paper,
with his Social Security Number on it  , in the palm of his hand.


When  paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she  walked the line, 
shaking
each man's hand and  asking little encouraging snippets like: 'Aren't  you
sorry you bombed babies?' and 'Are you  grateful for the humane treatment
from your  benevolent captors?' Believing this HAD to be an  act, they each
palmed her their sliver of  paper.  

She took them all without missing  a beat.. At the end of the line and once
the  camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief  of the POWs, she 
turned
to the officer in  charge and handed him all the little pieces of  paper..  
 

Three men died from the  subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was  almost
number four but he survived, which is  the only reason we know of her 
actions
that  day.


I was a civilian economic  development advisor in Vietnam , and was  
captured
by the North Vietnamese communists  in South Vietnam in 1968, and held
prisoner  for over 5 years.

I spent 27 months in  solitary confinement; one year in a cage in  Cambodia 
;
and one year in a 'black box' in  Hanoi . My North Vietnamese  captors
deliberately poisoned and murdered a  female missionary, a nurse in a
leprosarium  in Banme Thuot , South Vietnam , whom I buried  in the jungle 
near
the Cambodian border. At  one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My  normal
weight is 170 lbs)

We were Jane  Fonda's 'war criminals'

When Jane  Fonda was in Hanoi , I was asked by the camp  communist political
officer if I would be  willing to meet with her..

I said yes,  for I wanted to tell her about the real  treatment we POWs
received... and how  different it was from the treatment purported by  the
North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as  'humane and lenient.'


Because of  this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my  knees, with my
arms outstretched with a large  steel weight placed on my hands, and  beaten
with a bamboo cane.

I had the  opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I  was released. I
asked her if she would be
