RE: [TMIC] Pyrrhic Victory?
I have those same thoughts when I read the things Akua goes thru day to day. I remember the first time I went grocery shopping after TM. My 76 year old (at the time) Mom took me and a 9 year old boy carried the bags from the car to the house. I would do your grocery shopping if I lived near you. Akua, have you contacted a local church? Most people don't know where to find an individual who needs a helping hand. See if you local paper would start a column of people in need. Not financial, but physical labor needs. The paper might run it in their want ad columns free of charge to the person seeking help as a charitable endavor.

[TMIC] Lyrica - muscle stffness
Dalton You mentioned that you have muscle stffness when rising from a chair n the same post you when you said you are now taking Lyrica instead of gabapentin. I think I remember that as being a possible side-effect, but shrugged it off, because it would not stop me from taking Lyrica for the pain. Were you blaming the muscle stiffness directly on the Lyrica or was I reading something into your comment? Patti - Michigan

Re: [TMIC] Good Morning All
I'm in; I have learned so much here. By the way, I went more than two weeks without a seizure attack, those fits that stiffened me up across the back so that I slid off the chair onto the floor like a pine board. It has been since 9 January 2010 when I got the first one and I have been gurneyed many times with seizures since. I got a bad one the other day, however, from the fantastic joy I felt being back in New England in the fall, with its pungent scents of wet leaves, and all the colors, and the sun beams playing in their midst. The pure joy just exploded in my head and I seized up. But since leaving that furnace country the Gulf Middle East, the spells and fits have become fewer.

Okay, Dalton.Then stop the heavy emotional and physical exertion.I really am glad you are doing better and glad you are back in the U.S. We just got back from a week in Lincoln, New Hampshire. It is really beautiful country! It was my first really away vacation since TM – 4 years ago. Was so nervous about making the trip, but things went pretty well.We loved New Hampshire - including driving clear to the top of Mount Washington, the highest mountain in the Northeast. We “lunched” at the Mount Washington Hotel – ritzy! We ate on the terrace and had a spectacular view of the mountain. My husband went zip lining with my sister and her husband. They had a ball! I couldn’t do it, but they had lots of pictures and I made them tell me all about it. What a great vacation!

I lasted two and a half months. At the end of each day, I hurt so bad I couldn’t do anything - even cook dinner.

I finally gave in and went out on permanent disability. I so miss the social interaction afforded by working, but I don’t miss the forced exertion. To keep from becoming almost a hermit confined to the house – which is so easy to do when you don’t work – I make a point of ‘scheduling’ things to go out and do during the week – even if it’s just to grab a bite to eat for lunch or check out a new sale. After 34 years of working (31 for the same company), it was very hard to let go of the people contacts… it’s so easy at work to be ‘involved’ in co-workers lives just thru office conversation. It’s not ‘convenient’ for them after you’re gone. I try to stay in occasional e-mail contact with several of them, but it’s just not the same. TM definitely adversely affects your personal life as well as your physical one. I think that’s why we feel so connected to each other on this site – we all sympathize and appreciate each other’s losses as we’ve all walked in each other’s shoes where TM is concerned. Loss of health, loss of jobs, loss of friends, loss of dignity. It tears away at one’s resolve, but this site affords us a non-aggressive format for social contact (albeit thru cyber space), appreciation and validation of aches, pains and fears, and a way to gain knowledge about our condition thru the experiences of others.

RE: [TMIC] Pyrrhic Victory?
Looking through the human services stuff, it seems a lot of stuff is geared towards developmental disability, deafness, blindness, and homelessness. For people who become disabled, most of the resources are geared toward putting them back to work. Or helping them focus on being independent on their own. I'm not finding a lot of exceptions for folks who can't become independent with their disability. What makes the difference in a quad or para and a child who was born with CP? I'm not sure I get it.
