[TMIC] GABA

Hi I haven't posted in many months but I read your comments several times a week. I'm having sleepless nights and lots of pain especially my feet and spasms in my legs. Sometime when I drive I get spasms and that bad. I'm on no meds except over the counter because my neuro still says your

Hey Ken, Good to talk with you again. I've had TM for over 30 years now. I was diagnosed in Sept. 1974. My TM story is located in the TM archives whichis at the TM web site. I think it is #304 I had forgotten about the archives until the other day and went back to read several folks stories. It

Not knowing is so frustrating although you don't want a worse diagnosis than you already have! Today I am going back to Temple Hospital in Philadelphia for a urodynamic(sp) test on my bladder. Has anyone ever had one? What should I expect? Mark Marlton, NJ

When I had mine, first they had me go to the bathroom and empty my bladder as much as I could. Then they cathed me to see if there was any urine left, to see if I was retaining any. Then they put sensors all over my nether regions so they could see which muscles were working, filled my

I am so sorry to hear this. It seems like the last I remember hearing from Dennis on the list, he was about to go to the hospital for some procdeure, but I don't remember what it was. He was always a friendly voice here on the list. We will miss him. Barbara H.

Marie, I'm the one that suggested it - my pharmacist recommended it. He also recommended that I order it online, which is cheaper. (I'm sure you could get it at a heath food store, though.) I too had terrible trouble sleeping, which is why I tried the GABA in the first place. For awhile

Interesting. This is related to something I've wondered about: If 'TM' is 'inflamation of the myelin', which of course we've already been treated for, then do we really still have TM? I was treated with 5,000 mg methyl-prednisone during the first 5 days after my sudden (with-in 30 min)

James, I already thanked you for your question about GABA, but I want to do so again! Because in writing the explanations, it made me think of something that has helped me. I have this picture in my mind of a toddler trying to learn to walk, but of course he keeps stumbling and falling down.

Yes, that is my understanding, the scar tissue is my problem now. I even asked my neuro: is it now - what I see is what I get? she said yes, we can only treat the symptoms now, can't go in there to fix anything, or more damage would occur. In December of 2005, after my hospital stay, I was put on

I'm talking a lot here. I don't mean to get tiresome, but as I've said before, if I can say anything that might possibly help anyone, I feel like I should do it. (The rest of you can just 'delete'. :) But when I hear you talk about all those steroids, Bernie, I think Candida. And who among
