Re: [TMIC] Working
Wish I could say the same. When TM hit me in 2005, my employer told me that LTD may not get approved and then I would be out of a job. Instead, they offered me a lesser job and a week later told me they decided to eliminate that job and offered me a severance. It was like the LTD was off the table at that point. So I had no choice but to negotiate a severance. The package was for 1 year and then I filed for disability with SSA. I got bad advice from all parties and now I can't pay all my bills.

Re: [TMIC] Gabapentin ??
I used to have really strange dreams when I was on Gabapentin. I was on it for 2 years then my neur switched me to Lyrica for which there is no generic. Two years later, my neuro has now switched me to Topomax to try to help control the weight gain from the Gabapentin and Lyrica. Good Luck.

I started a week ago on Gabapentin 300 mg 1X daily but I take approx. 1/2 in the am mixed with my yogart and the other half in applesauce at night. The Gabapentin does help with some of the nerve pain - when I'm awake meaning that it does make me sleep much more - 4 to 12 hours at a time. I was just getting to the point of only sleeping 8 to 10 hours at night with a 2 to 4 hour nap. I also find that I'm dreaming as I'm waking up - something that I haven't done in the last 4 years since TM hit. My neuro told me to take 1 capsule the first week, 2 the next week, then 3 from there on. I called today and told the nurse that because it was making me so tired that I was going to stay on the 1 capsule per day until my body adjusts because I was sleeping way too much and not getting anything else done. I know this will happen because each time I've added a med that has a sleepiness, fatigue effect, within a month or so my body adjusts and I go back to my normal sleep pattern. I believe that I have seen others here thattake Gabapenin and wonder if they have had the same effects? Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!

[TMIC] Dr Kerr
This week I learned that Dr Douglas Kerr will be leaving Johns Hopkins in January and relocating to Boston. I do not know the details other than he will be seeing new patients beginning in mid-2010 at Harvard. Based on the recent announcement by NIH and the fact that 11 of the 13 embryonic stem cell lines approved by NIH came from Boston Children's Hospital, that he will have a better opportunity for research and treatment thru this new venue. I will miss him dearly and hope to travel to Boston one day to see him again as we all get closer to a cure for TM, MS or any other spinal cord injury that can benefit from stem cell therapy.
Re: [TMIC] Topamax
Had my annual evaluation with Dr Kerr yesterday after a 2+ hour MRI. The MRI preliminary report says there is no evidence for abnormal cord signal to suggest transverse myelitis. I was blown away to learn that the myelin had all regrown after 4 years. Of course, I still can't walk without a walker and that is only for ten minutes. Then I revert to the wheel chair. I assume now all I need if for the nerves to reconnect, lol. I would be happy to receive comments on this report as I am still baffled about the myelin. I thought the loss of myelin was the cause of the paralysis. Dr Kerr also recommended that I start taking Topamax because I complained about the weight gain associated with the Lyrica. The side effects are kind of scarey. I wondered who was taking it and what their experience had been. Looking forward to all responses.

[TMIC] Medicare Question
Thanks to all of you who wrote me about my Medicare concerns. You will be happy to know that? I finally contacted my SSDI representative at the Railroad Retirement Board and he clarified the following information for me. 1.? He recommended that I take Part B now along with Part A that will be effective Sept 1, 2009. 2.? He said that as long as I have secondary insurance (my COBRA with Blue Cross), not supplemental, that the COBRA is my primary insurance and the Medicare will be secondary. 3.? As soon as I turn 65, the Medicare A and B will be my primary and the COBRA or any other private insurance will be my secondary and my supplemental until it goes away. 4.? At that time, I will have to select a Part B plan from those that are available in my area.? I may also want to purchase private insurance for supplemental benefits. 5.? At that time, I can also sign up for Part D. 5.? The Advantaged Plans are considered to be Part C or Part B and Part D combined.? They are better than the original Part B and D and cost more as well, but they include things that would otherwise be picked up with a supplemental insurance.? I hope this is not confusing to understand, LOL, and perhaps some of you may find it helpful.? Thanks again. Laurie
