Re: [TMIC] Fwd: FW: An extra Ten Commandments O/T
Janice, I just wanted to let everyone know that after two days of the St. Jude KIX 106 radiothon we raises $301,000.00 thats 25,000 more than last. I really felt bad that I never recieved but 2 e-mails from tmic. I was figuring I'd get more but I'm still proud of this group for trying to deal with tm, its not easy as I well know. If you know any child with cancer no matter where they live or how much thier parent can afford I would still get them to St Jude. Thanks for letting me use this media.

Central Standard TimeSubj: FW: An extra Ten Commandments Sheila TenEyck Layman's Ten . . . . . . .Someone has written these beautiful words. Must read and try to understand the deep meaning of it. They are like the ten commandments to follow in life all the time. 1. Prayer is not a spare wheel that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a steering wheel that directs the right path throughout. 2. So why is a car's windshield so large and the rear view mirror so small? Because our past is not as important as our future. So, look ahead and move on. 3. Friendship is like a book. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write. 4. All things in life are temporary. If it's going well, enjoy it, that won't last long. If it's going badly, don't worry, that won't last long either. 5. Old friends are gold! New friends are diamonds! If you get a diamond, don't forget the gold! Because to hold a diamond, you always need a base of gold! 6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end! 7. When God solves your problems, you have faith in His abilities; when God doesn't solve your problems, He has faith in your abilities. 8. A blind person asked St. Anthony, Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight? He replied, Yes, losing your vision! 9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you. 10. Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace. If you really enjoy this, please pass to others. It may brighten someone's day. No virus found in this message.

To whoever wants to help please either write me or call 1-800-411-9898 and give from your heart what ever you can. If you have ever heard of St. Jude Hospital then you know that it is the most renowned hospital in the entire world forn the treatment of children with Cancer. I donate every year $1.00 for each of my children and grandchildren. Thats just $27.00 but every dollar counts. Please know that no child will be turned away for not being able to pay. I know that the Transverse Myelitis people have alot on thier plate just trying to cope with our illness. Just look at your kids and thank God for them. Please help anyway you can. Again 1-800-411-9898. If even half of this group just gave $5.00 think what that could do. I Love You All. Rick Ashford in Beautiful Tennessee.

Jude I have stopped taking percocet and any other pain meds. It took about a solid month to ween off of them but now I'm glad I did. They got to where they were causing more spasms than normal I was having to double up on percocet, I started running out early and I couldn't get a refill so I was screwed for several days. That caused real problems and I started having bad withdrawals. That was when I decided to quit them. You can't imagine what that was like. Three months latere I'm off of them completly I only take some Valium, Gabapentin, Soma, Oxybutin and blood pressure meds. I'm alot better off without percocets but even though I still have incredable pain I try and use mind over matter, also I listen some Ti Che and that creates a different perspective of mind control. If your not strong enough to ween off of pains, I don't recommend trying this on your own, it can get scarey. We all have to try and use our good sence with strong opiates there so addictive and very bad for your Liver and other internal organs. I love all of you and please use good judgement with your meds.

Do you use things like Ben Gay or topical ointments or anything? Do any of you, besides Bernie, have a pain pump? I am going for my first consultation on the 9th. I looked it up and know all about it, but I want to know about it first hand. Thank you all for your answers. I am considering asking the Quad list too. What do you think? Does anyone have those addresses? If so, may I have a few please? Especially if they have the pump. Love you, Jude Michigan, where we are wearing a winter blanket of snow...

I have met many people through this site, one who has become my best friend who has TM. I would not trade that for anything, but your e-mail makes me feel as though I am unwelcomed or a traitor of sorts. This brings me to tears. As I have poured my heart out on this site (reluctant to make my personal problems public), but felt comfortable enough to share with others who are, also suffering with relationship problems, pain and depression. That won't happen again. -Original Message- From: heyjude48...@aol.com To: ladyno...@aol.com Sent: Wed, Jun 17, 2009 4:26 am Subject: Re: [TMIC] Transverse Myelitis Network Then what is holding you back? Why don't you simply quit this site and use the other one that you say you prefer? What's the big deal? Jude

Not to worry.. We will keep our site. We have such family of friends that I don't want to take a chance on losing any of you. I would imagine that if you don't want to thank God and talk about prayer, you would probably be uncomfortable on here. We seem to come thru no matter what 'decisions' are made in how to handle that issue! :) And thank you so much for the update on you!!!

As usual, I have another UTI but this time it is being treated? differently. My doctor is at a loss as to what antibiotic to put me on because I have become immune to all of them that can be given orally. The doctor is consulting with my infectious disease specialist to see if he can come up with something given by IV at home. I am so tired of going to the hospital, but may have to if the doc cannot come up with something. I believe that today I see the wound care specialist. Dave says that when he changes the dressings, the wounds look pretty good. One side has quite a bit of drainage that is looking a bit green but that's all. Hopefully, I will be on something soon to get everything under control. Rick called me yesterday. What a dear friend. I am so fortunate to have friends like all of you that I can depend upon to help keep me positive when I'm not feeling well. I got a sweet card from Trudy. The card is lovely on it's own, but the words Trudy wrote are very special. Faithful Pam calls me almost every day...the last time she called we talked forever. Who else calls? Ella is a regular, Linda checked in with me last week and I know that I am missing someone. Please forgive me, my friend. I appreciate the outpouring of love. I can't help but think that our group is a very special entity and hate to think of everyone leaving and going to the Yahoo site. Does anyone know if Jim Lubin has anything to do with the other site? He works so hard to maintain this List, I hate to think of people abandoning him simply for a change of pace. It is my hope that people will keep their place on this List and if they feel the need to meet new people and read about new ideas and such, I hope that they can belong to two sites and not eliminate this one. Unfortunately, I only have enough energy to answer email on this one. Well, please take my loving thoughts with you today and enjoy whatever it is that you will be doing. Your Jude A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps! Hello, dear one... Not to worry.. We will keep our site.
