Re: [TMIC] Need a little help
HI ROB, MY LESION IS T4-T5. THAT MEANS THORACIC VERTEBRAE 4 AND 5. WHAT REALLY TELLS THE TAIL OF WHAT WE CAN DO IS THE LOCATION WITHIN THE SPINAL CORD. IF IT IS POSTERIOR IT CAN MEAN ONE THING, OR ANTERIOR MAY MEAN ANOTHER. I HAVE TO DIG UP MY ORIGINAL REPORT BECAUSE I KNOW IT SAID WHAT PART OF THE SPINAL CORD WAS AFFECTED AND THAT IN TURN WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS OR IS NOT WORKING AS FAR AS THE NERVES GO. I BELIEVE I HAD INFORMATION ON THAT FROM THE JOHNS HOPKINS SYMPOSSIUM IN 2003 OR 2004. LINDA IN PA **It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms and advice on AOL Money Finance.

Just rec'd results of MRI (thorasic) and they show the lesions in the T8-T12 region. Even though I have had this condtion for more than 10 years I have never known my T score..is a higher # on the T scale better or worse? Thx Rob in New Jersey
Re: [TMIC] Need a little help
Need a little helpRobert, Here is a site that shows just where on the spine T8 - T12 is. http://www.makoa.org/scimap.htm Not sure if higher is better or worse. It just tells what parts of the body are affected. I think it also depends on how much initial damage is done by the inflammation as to how you are affected by the residual effects. My lesion was at T8 - T10. I am one of the walking wounded. Usually walk unaided in house but use cane if I am tired or under the weather. Use cane or walker outside of home. Wheelchair once in a while.

RE: [TMIC] Need a little help
Thanks a lotmy problem is that this is the first MRI in 10+ years and I therefore do't have a good point of reference.Tomorrow I will forward the report to Dr. Kerr and to the group. From the report it is hard for me to decipher if there is new damage or it is just rsidual damage from 10 years ago that might hav showed up if another MRI was taken weeks or months after the MRI that showed the lesion. To be continued tomorrow. Thanks again!

The higher the lesion, the more dysfunction in the body. Then one needs to factor in whether one is an incomplete or complete para. Ask your Doctor to explain.

Re: [TMIC] Need a little help (all)
Welcome back Jude! Our pastor Invites anyone with prayer concerns to kneel at the prayer rail during the pastoral and Lords prayer every Sunday. I have always been shy about doing this but I have missed your words of wisdom and out of concern for your treatment and well being I decided to go to the altar and pray for you every sunday until there was a dramatic change in your situation. While kneeling at the rail this past sunday I realized that I should be praying for your caretakers that they might have a change of heart. BOY, talk about answered prayer! Our God is an awesome God!

Re: [TMIC] Need a little help!!
For a doctor, since there is no directory of doctors knowledgeable in TM, doctors affiliated with the National MS Society are suppose to be familiar with TM. They have a directory on their site. http://www.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=HOM_LIVE_treatment_locationshttp://www.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=HOM_LIVE_treatment_locations At 11:43 AM 3/25/2008, Robert Pall wrote: Do any members in the New York City or New Jersey area know of a good Neuro who is familiar with TM and its treatments? For the past 9 years the only neuro I have seen is Dr. Kerr (once annually). I think it might be beneficial to find a local neuro that I can see on a more regular basis or God forbid in case of an emergency. Thanks Rob in New Jersey PS: I am over my very short self pity episode! Thanks to all of the people in the group that never fail to help !
