[TMIC] legs

2008-07-20 Thread AnnDillon
Just because my legs are attached to me does not mean that I recognize them as part of my body. In fact I have disowned them. Since they are now disowned my life has become much easier. I get up in the morning and do not have to think which way my legs are going . I just let them go th

I think I understand why some babies cry and scream for no apparent reason.? After living with TM for 7 years I've learned that certain scented lotions make my dry, scaly legs burn like fire, I can't find a bra that doesn't make my banding even more painful, my feet burn when they are ice cold,

Trudy, Only another TMer could properly discribe the feelings you wrote. Yes, you wore the wrong shoes, put on the wrong jeans, sat on the wrong chair, knelt wrong, and live in the wrong climate. My feelings exactly. It's not likley another attack, but it is likely all due to TM. What a stra

I am 6 years in to this "box of chocolates" and like you can be very pig-headed and refuse to listen to my body. And I learned the hard way so finally I swallowed my pride and said to my friends (who are fantastic) no, I cannot go into DC to a museum and then to a long lunch!. I will meet you a

Linda,I often get that same feeling I go to bed thinking... Ok Lord, what about tomorrow?? I talk to my legs... it's crazy but I do and boy when I overdo it they sure do talk back. There's no doubt about that... That "perfect world" is going to happen. And then we will dance, we will run an

I know what it is like also. You never know what your day is going to be like. Sometimes numb, sometimes tingling, sometimes stinging. It is like it has its own personality! Trying not to let fear get the best of you is hard. I also go to bed thinking about the possibility of not being

Just bought my first pair of compression stockings and it was $ 95. The dr wrote me a prescription for them because the pressure sores on my ankles won't heal because my feet are always swollen. Apparently, the water prevents blood from properly circulating to those areas & healing is greatly sl

Oh what a great description, Trudy! TM is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. I have to wear loose chothes because they might hurt. I used to go to church every Sunday but the pain from the wooden pews was just too much. I measure everything before
