Dear Barb, et al... Don't you think that if doctors could cure such a devestating disease as TM with a simple/not so simple antibiotic, it would have been done by now? Why...TM is only just now getting its name heard of in "certain circles". There are many more stories of crippl

Sal, I think you are trying to find a solution across the board for pain, mobility, etc. that you think may have worked for you and have it work for everyone. Because the doc told you you'd never move doesn't mean that anyone that the doc told wouldn't walk will walk if they just will

OK Gunny, We finally get some show even mentioning TM and then they go about mentioning WRONG, BAD, LOUSY, etc. information. Now you tell me, which is better, no press or bad press?? One would think that on a show such as HOUSE, the info given would be researched and correct, or is that

Well, I might be wrong. But I got the impression that House considered the transverse myelitis as one of a set of symptoms this week, and not a full-blown disease of its own. Because he said to give antibiotics for the TM, and then to continue running tests for other things. Like the TM w

hey Robert, i definitely understand what you are saying. i am not saying to take herbal remedies i am saying to pshyc out your brain from thinking that taking heavy doses of meds calms your pain. taking pills is like smoking, your body just gets use to it because you eat at a set time everyday

i dont know if people know but they recalled neurontin at certain doses. Those of you on Neurontin, the temporary relief of pain is not worth the long term side effects. If you ask me, I would say that most of you are on to much meds when not needed. doctors give you more then needed but it i

Carol, Neurontin is not a medication to be used only when you have pain. I believe that any benefit you get from taking it only when you need it is probably from the placebo effect. Do you know the side effects of neurontin? You should google "Neurontin" ans read up about it. Good luck F
