Rob,
I count my blessings everyday, and this group is high on my list.
Before I became involved, it was like walking in the darkness not knowing
what

Dear Sal,
You're certainly entitled to vent. I know I've done it big time and this group
has been wonderful and supportive. I was diagnosed with TM four years ago and
my symptoms are nothing compared to yours, but still, at times, I do feel sorry
for myself. I don't think there is anything
I know for some of us it has been a lifetime of our TM, ADEM, NMO, MS and so

to it and forgot about it but instead of having doctors and researchers find
the reason why, whats a better source then the person who
I truly believe that TM was caused by stress in my life. I believe I
had nothing more serious than a summer cold, but due to the stress in my
life which was extremely high at that time my immune system was weakened
allowing the onset of TM. This is not very scientific, but I believe
this was

My daughter had an upper respiratory infection, that was treated with an
antibiotic, a month before she was inflicted with TM. She was only 11 so
the only stress that she had was being a typical 11 year old girl in

.*Hi,*
*I was getting over a case of very mild pneumonia whenever I got hit with
NMO. I hadn't even missed work because of it. Had been taking antibiotics
and feeling a bit poopy and tired, but no other symptoms to speak of.*

Rob, I believe what you are saying 100%. It was a very stressful time in my
life as well when I was hit with TM. If I remember correctly, I had a cold
shortly before also. Nothing major, just the common cold.

Hi,
I was going through a terrible divorce and raising 3 young children. I also
had pneumonia in Nov and the flu in January. I got TM on Jan. 3, 1991. My
neuro was so good. He diagnosed me before any testing was done. He told me at
the time that this could have been a virus that had been
In 2000 I was diagnosed with cancer, was teaching special needs kids, had 3
teenagers and watched my mom die of lung cancer while I was battling breast
cancer. I am absolutely convinced this is why I fell apart with TM less than
one year later. Stress!

At the time of my onset I was under a huge amount of stress. I also had

Yes. I attribute my TM to the stress I was experiencing while down-sizing a
bank branch by eliminating a satelite drive-up building. closing down 18 ATM's,
raising the fees on an entire mall of commercial accounts so they would go
elsewhere, and eliminating the jobs of 8 of my staff. This was

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.
If you look in to the archives, probenly you will find a lot of people that
think, or almost know for sure, that stress is related to sicknesses by
lowering the immune system. This discussion has been done for several times,

I'm not sure if the 'splotches' I have are like yours but mine happened to
start on my one foot. They were a reddish brown color and everywhere they
were, my skin would just begin to peel off. Of course, I couldn't feel
anything and I was given an RX for some cortisone cream which did help.
Hi, Tracey! Just a quick note (I hope...I get a little chatty)! When I was
