Peachy in TN In my knowledge is indeed very rare to develop MS when you are at older age. When it will happen, the devopment because the age is probenly very slow. It always will be the question, is it hardening the tissue caused by TM, or is it MS. In your first chech-up in 2001 is also looked into this matter. TM can grow out to a MS, but normaly this will happen in the first 5 years, after that you can speak of a study TM with no large ups and downs anymore. TM can always stays ligth progressive.

Re: Fwd: [TMIC] sequel(TMIC)
I HAVE NOT SEEN MY NEURO IN YEARS, AND HAVE AD TM SINCE 1994, CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR AND COMPLETELY PARALYZED FROM THE NIPPLE LINE DOWN SINCE THEN. WHAT CAN HE/SHE DO FOR ME? NO CURE YET, I TOLERATE THE PAIN AND SPASES, HAVE TRAINED MY BOWELS - SOMETIMES, AND SEE MY GP FOR OTHER MALAYS AND UTI'S ONLY, BESIDES MY HEART DOCTOR, MY BUTT DOCTOR FOR DECUBITI AND MY COLON DR FOR DIVERTICULOSIS, AND MY A-HOLE DR FOR HEMORRHOIDS AS WELL AS MY GP'S BROTHER, THE DENTIST. I THINK I SUPPORT ENOUGH DOCTORS, AND NO NEED TO HELP MY NEURO OUT ON HIS NEXT YACHT PAYMENT OR FUEL FILL-UP.

I still see my neuro every 6 months. I can't imagine anyone with this type of disease to not return for checkups I would look for a new neuro ASAP. As for amantadine, my neuro put me on it in '97. I only took it for a short time due to the vivid dreams I had. I didn't notice any change in my fatigue. Not all meds affect us the same way, I guess. Mary W Grass Valley Ca
Re: [TMIC] sequel(TMIC)
My 2 cents - my neuro has me dx'd as probable MS but says that the odds are that because of my age (63) and the age of onset (57), I'm unlikely to have another serious neurological occurence. Somethin' to hang on to. Diane in Canada BobbyJim wrote: Well, from what I've read here and there, age has nothing to do with when one comes down with either TM or MS.
