Re: [TMIC] Unidentified subject!
I have never really been bothered by banding - sometimes I can feel it, but really no problem. My worst problem is spondolosis/arthritis down low in my back that is aggravated by TM. Also, the never going down the backs of my calves. That can knock me to the floor when it hits. Otherwise, I'm pretty good.

Hi Rob, sorry to hear that things have been so bad for you. Not many speak about banding. In six years I have had some very slight improvement in other areas but the banding is always with me, intensifying with changes in the weather. I have accepted that it is a permanent part of my life. Strangely, it never bothers me when I am in bed. Regards Iris UK Sent from my iPad
Re: [TMIC] Unidentified subject!
Betty, while in hospital after TM hit, I described this awful discomfort I was experiencing as feeling like having bands of steel under my skin. The neurologist said nothing, just looked at me as though I was deranged!! Of course, I later learned for myself that it was commonly referred to as banding.

It has been 17+ years for me and at the beginning you were my only support. As for me things have been lousy for almost 2 years (especially lousyit is always plain lousy) coincidentally this is the period I have had the Baclofen Pump. I am not saying that it has not helped my legs (banding) somewhathowever either the pump or the combo of it with m7y other meds have been making me feel lousy. I am lowering my dosage from the pump to see if that helps and if so I will have the pump removed and go on as I have for the previous 15 years. I am the support group leader for NJ and we try to get together 3 times a year. It is nice to see my old friends online again...I am either to old or to computer illiterate to use facebook. I am really glad the group here is getting together...I have missed it!

I still remember Love Canal and all that. Behind our house and across the street was the rail yard and a great big pile of coal that was used for the trains, but I used it for play. It was great fun climbing up to the top of the pile then jump off as far as I could go, hit near the bottom of the pile and slide around in that slippery coal. My mother would throw me in the bath and there would be a black ring around it about 8” deep. Trouble is, that there is a lot of mercury in coal, which we also used to heat our home. We had a large room in the cellar with a window for trucks to send coal into it down a chute. I think all that play in the coal especially exposed me to too much mercury, and that it gave me all sorts of problems growing up, including reading difficulties, concentration, sleep, growth difficulties maybe, and now TM. d.
