Re: [TMIC] I haven't been here for a long time
Jude has been in hospital twice in the last three weeks. She sure is a trooper! She's in ICU now awaiting test results. What tests? I'm fond of Jude, and I've been following her travails for a long, long time. Alton
Fwd: [TMIC] I haven't been here for a long time
Patti it was good to see your post and get the latest update on Jude. I miss all the regulars on TMIC but it seems we have all gone on to FB. I have met a lot of new people which I enjoy and I still get the posts from TMIC but it looks as though it is very quiet. I do contact Jude every few weeks but never get a response from her. I can see why if she has been in and out of the hospital. FB is really very easy. I know Jude is signed up on the 2 private TM groups. All she or Dave have to do is look on the left side of the screen and they will see the 2 groups listed. One is Transverse Myelitis Folks which is for everyone, and the other is TM-HA which is only for us gals so we can discuss girl things in private. Once you decide which group you want to go into you just click on it, and you can bounce from one to the other. If you are on FB I would be happy to sign you up or if you have any questions let me know. Again, it is good to get your post. Patti - Wisconsin P.S. It seems I was booted off too and that is probably why i haven't seen much activity here.

Re: [TMIC] I haven't been here for a long time
Hi, I've had tm since 8/13/95 and have tight banding all the time. It does get even tighter during stressful times,and I almost can't breathe. It's been awful the past few months. It's the worst part of tm for me,along with the nerve pain. Cheryl in gloomy Easthampton,MA.

You are one of the earliest ones I remember when I first got on (I remember since you are also in Michigan) along with Jude and others. I look on Facebook once in a while but am not on it much and did not even include my picture in my profile section (probably to the relief of Facebook friends). It seems like it can take up a lot of time yet I understand how it can help people connect but I do prefer this method of TM'ers communicating with each other. I haven't written much about my TM but the fatigue is the most annoying.

My two siblings live out of town so I keep track of both parents although my brother and sister do real well in coming as often as they can and giving me a break now and again. Applying for Medicaid a year ago and still not getting everything finalized yet has been almost a nightmare. This past week some news (or lack of it) regarding our Medicaid application set my banding off and I felt like I was being squeezed to death until I talked with our Elder Law attorney and it started ease off a bit. Does anyone else experience this increased banding or squeezed feeling in times of stress? I have appreciated over the years, on the list, the bits of advice given and the sharing of symptom experiences. Once in a while I have a slipper come off my foot and I don't know it until I see the slipper or my bare foot because I really don't feel anything much different whether the slippers are off or on. When this happens I remember the story I probably read on this list: a lady with TM was walking up church steps and didn't realize her shoes had come off until she heard people behind her laughing (may not be the exact story, but close, as I remember it).

There is no reason why we can't use Facebook to connect with new names, obtain e-addies and carry on separately; I do it all the time.

Re: [TMIC] I haven't been here for a long time
Well, yes and no. Either page can be as personal as we want to make it. I dedicate a specific amount of time to FB and that's it, till the next day. However, my time there has increased a bit because most of my e-pals, on or off the TMIC have gravitated to FB as well. Some folks I haven't heard from in months, even years, now reply right away on FB. Go figger. From the few diehards not on FB, I hear less and less unless I write separately first. Does any one remember when I used to send news articles to y'all... Not anymore. Now, all I do is hit that page's FB link and it does all that work for me. tee hee BobbyJim in Elvisland - Original Message - From: j.d...@shaw.ca To: pjv1...@chartermi.net ; tmic Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 12:34 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] I haven't been here for a long time I am in on the facebook groups, but I don't like it.
