[TMIC] Thanks to the list/understanding TM
Well, in our case, me missus went from TM to an MS dx in less than two years and that was over 10 years ago. As her caregiver, I can't feel her pain but as Sandy says, I can understand what she goes thru, and also sympathize and most of all, make sure that all, or most, of her needs are met. Indeed, a full time job. I guess that some of us are more willing to be tolerant of the needs of others who are in need; other than those others who don't wish to understand at all or couldn't care less. oh well I know of instances where the spouse took a hike rather than deal with the illness of the affected one. What creeps.

Therefore, I will try to speak from the standpoint of understanding. However, I don't FEEL his pain, but I SYMPATHIZE with his pain. I sympathize with; his daily issues, his paralysis, his complaints, his clonus, his feeling of inadequacies, his feelings of frustration and pain over sexual dysfunction and bladder dysfunction, his loss of his past life and of OUR past lives. I LISTEN to him. I AM THERE FOR HIM. I encourage him, I apologize for his pain and anything that will make him understand that I UNDERSTAND to a degree. But, I don't think anyone can FULLY understand unless they have TM. He knows I understand more about TM than many. But, as they say, unless you can walk the walk.. I, more than likely, will never walk that walk. I love him, I am committed to him and I will continue to do my best to understand TM thru his eyes. He is very detail oriented about it - so that in itself, helps me understand better. Anyone with a disease such as TM, needs someone to listen to them with compassion in their heart. I will always do my best to be that person.

Many people do not realize it, but *whatever* your bowel problems are, it will help you. If your movements are too soft, it will firm them up. If they're too hard and you have constipation, it will soften them. It's such a great product!! You might have to take it 2-3 times a day, but it's pretty cheap. Be sure you get the Smooth texture one, the regular is horrible -- and be sure that the water you mix it in is fridge-cold, otherwise it will just gum up before you can drink it. Mix drink immediately. The only problem with taking Metamucil is that you can't take it within a couple hours of any medication or supplements. Anything that's in your stomach when you take it can get caught up in it and get swept out of the body. So you have to arrange your schedule so you take it either an hour before or a couple hours after any medications.

Hi Natalie, I hope that, in my e-mail, you didn't think I was saying we would all get MS. As I mentioned, MS is only one of the underlying diseases or infections that may have caused the attack on our spinal cords in the first place -- with the resulting demylination of the myelin sheath and nerves which has left at least two thirds of us with life-changing problems. I think we all get confused when we talk about TM turning into something else when it is actually caused by something else. In my case, the inflammation (myelitis) was across both sides of the spinal cord (transverse) and they could not find a definite cause (ideopathic) so the diagnosis was Ideopathic Transverse Myelitis. They believe it happened because of a sinus infection I had just before the attack of inflammation. So far, none of the ongoing tests have shown any other reason and I haven't had a recurrence of TM to indicate something else may be going on. I apologize if my description wasn't clear enough and hope everyone will read the John's Hopkins information as it is really helpful.

Hey, Jude. all is cool OK??? MS and TM are intimately linked, unfortunately, as are all other CNS afflictions, down to the very last one. No exceptions. Anything having to do with our nervous systems IS connected. Very much so. It's all about the wiring. Got it?? Unfortunately, the FDA has deemed it 'proper' to not approve any of the ABC+ drugs (and not all are interferons) for anybody except MS patients. Why.??? Dunno.Damn! So, if your symptoms comply and your doc agrees, an MS dx would do wonders in order to get some treatment to ameliorate the junk that bothers y'all. Unfortunately (again), not all TM symptoms can be helped by an ABC+ drug, why.??? Again, dunno. Ask the experts.

Anybody who[m] I haven't approved beforehand goes thru the suspect folder first, as do all spammers, unsolicited junk and infected stuff. I'll pull out of there and 'approve' any new e-pals and such. Once in the IN folder, if I see e-mails I don't wanna read (and y'all know which ones we mean) I delete them on the spot. Those never get near my actual e-mail thingie. I only download those I wanna read. Period. As for forwarding stuff, there is a way to do it without all those addresses already there.

Well, I've been a caregiver to 'SheWhoMustBeObeyed' for almost ten years now, and there have been ups and down and spots inbetween.

Re: [TMIC] TM diagnosis
Well, in a sorta kinda way, I sort of kind of maybe perhaps agree with Tenser about TM and MS being the 'same' CNS disease. After all, as I've read more than once, they're kissin' cuzzins; TM is a single sclerosis and MS is a multiple event. The difference, it seems, is on the symptoms, the effects of the disease on the body, the types of treatment available for each, and so on and so forth. Here, we know several folks afflicted with MS and each and every one of them has turned out differently after being afflicted. When me missus got her TM dx in 1997 we were both baffled as we'd never heard of such a thing. Luckily, the neuro treating her then did and knew what he was talking about. Then, 17 months later, Da Boss suffered a second event and again, the neuro, a different one, saw what was there and did not hesitate to issue an MS dx. And that was not a problem with us. Immediately afterwards, SheWhoMustBeObeyed qualified for Avonex and off we went, pricking her legs once a week and now, 330 injections later (just think of the co$t), meelaydee is doing very well, thankyeww. I do wish it were the same for all of you out there. As for the quality of service by some of them docs out there, we as well have our share of 'horror' stories. The fact that some of themmay be emminently qualified does not excuse their arrogance or impudence towards their patients. So there. Bobberino in Elvisland.

As I understand it, recurring MS is
the same as recurring-relapsing MS. It is not a second attack if it's only
an exhacerbation to a previous event (correct me if am wrong, y'all) but
I believe that doesn't happen in MS, only TM. And then,
it's the progressive MS that doesn't

changes from single sclerosis (TM) to multiple (two or more)
sclerosis.
