I was just wondering about your thoughts
Two years ago I was "hit" with TM (C-3), spent a couple days in
The current thinking in the MS world is that we
do have what they call "silent attacks" that occur between those that we do
notice. I guess this came about because some MS patients were having
follow up MRIs and they were noticing new/old lesions. That is that they had
lesions they had not
For me, steroids (prednesone) makes me feel and walk much
better . I was on them last December for 2 months, I was ready to throw away my
cane. Then they made me stop - prednesone for long periods of time are no good

Hi Bernie, I live in Woodbury and am seeing a neuro from North
Shore Manhasset Hosp. I was taken ill this past Sept. As of yet not
really diagnosed. First thought it was GM, then TM or a spinal cord

years I was an A tennis player and then a fairly decent golfer (thats where I

I refused the steroids because I was able to walk (used a
cane for a while) and the neurologist painted a pretty unattractive picture of

asbadlystricken as some on this
