It's just like the television commercial for cancer says, We don't come with a bar code stamped to the bottom of our feet saying that a life with disease doesn't have any chance of getting better. Let's keep that in mind...people die all of the time for stupid reasons...I like that one line from one of the new tv shows, Person one asks, Why do people have to die? and then Person two says, To make Life important. I never looked at life and death that way, but it's true and whoever thought that one up has a good grasp on the way it really is...or ought to be.

Re: [TMIC] improvement
I think I probably had the biggest or most dramatic improvements within the first six months, but there has been slow and steady improvement ever since (11 1/2 years later). Just recently I was in charge of a ladies' luncheon at church that, in previous years, knocked me out for the rest of the weekend, but this year I had a bunch of errands to do afterward and thought I was going to crash once I ever got still -- I was amazed that the fatigue levels were so much better when that's one thing that has carried on long-term. However, walking around Wal-Mart or the mall does me in -- not only all the walking, but I get really hot in both places, and that just saps my energy.

[TMIC] improvement
I just saw an email from someone saying that their doctor told them that wherever they are in one year is about where they'll stay. I was hit with TM in May of 2005. At the end of one year, I had an appointment with a physiatrist. Today - after the end of my second year, I saw the same physiatrist and she said I'd made tremendous improvements since she saw me a year ago (and I have - not that I don't still have a ways to go! :) So obviously, I didn't stay where I was at the end of one year - Thank Goodness! I think the literature generally says that it takes two years to reach your maximum healing - whatever that might be.

RE: [TMIC] improvement
It's been five years and every time I start my exercises I have to believe that yes, it will help and yes I will improve. I have to believe that! Great e-mails this week.. I've learned a lot!

Re: [TMIC] improvement
I agree with you Sally. I'm now almost at year 4 and this past year I have found that on a lot of days I have more energy. I think part of it is that I started driving again last Spring. I don't go out a lot and do pick the time of day - when I'm not tired - when there is the least amount of traffic (which is getting harder all the time since Calgary has now gone to over one million people) - and when I know that whatever I'm going to do I'll still have the energy to drive myself home again. I do realize that not all of us will be able to drive again but any little thing I can now do that I couldn't do 4 years ago is a big step for me. I was also told while in hospital that wherever I was at the TWO year mark is most likely where I would stay. Small improvements since then are wonderful.
