Iris. I would like to know what banding is and how it relates to the body
thanks gerry montreal
Gerry,
Banding was described to me as the place where the nerves 'lost'
contacti.e., tm struck me at the t8...(bra line)and banding
was around my body at that spotthe banding was the nerve endings
firing in attempt to reconnect...(I always thought it
was the bra God,
Mine is on my waist area T-10 right side only, feels like and Indian Burn can
not take clothes touching that area, all pants now have to be elastic and I
look like Urkul with them pulled up so hight.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gunny for his service to our
nation, in being willing to place his life and health at risk of loss for
the safety of others. What a heavy burden he carries back with him in his
mind and soul from battle.

Banding is a sensation of being squeezed and pressed across the chest and
torso. It also may cause the flesh on the torso, in bands, to become very
sensitive to touch. It is common to both Transverse Myelitis and Multiple
Sclerosis.
That is what I know from personal experience.

GUNNY YOUR SHORT STORY WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. IT HAS GIVEN ME ANOTHER
PERSPECTIVE ON MY ABILITIES (NOTE I DID NOT SAY DISABILITIES - NOT ANY
MORE). I LOST MUCH, BUT I STILL HAVE MUCH. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I HAVE
IS MY FAMILY.
I TOO WANT TO THANK YOU AND ALL VETS FOR THE SACRIFICE
Hello,
I was very glad to find this e-list. I am new to TM having
been diagnosed one year ago. We moved from PA to Kansas in April. This has
been a hot summer with 20+ days straight of temps in upper 90's to low
100's, and I find I am having a greater number of symptoms than normal.
Welcome to our group, sorry you had to find us! Heat will affect some of
us, won't affect others. Cold affects some, not others. TM should stand
for Totally Miscellaneous because all symptoms vary, except for usually the
banding and the pain.

Welcome Craig,
The end of this week will be my tenth anniversary.
A bit about myself, I practiced family medicine for 25 years, then retired- the
first mistake- then had too much fun, then was stung by a mosquito, Contracted
a virus which mimicked (sp?) the covering of my spinal cord

My left side temperature is 10 higher than my right during the summer, but 10

Welcome Craig,
Hope that first name basis is ok with you, cause we're family here.
Sorry we had to meet this way, but you're lucky to have found this new family!!

Actually, Craig;
I know some here might object, but when persons ask, I just say MS, multiple
sclerosis, because many of the symptoms are the same, although the
progression is not. The reason is that when you say transverse myelitis,
they go, Oh, what's that? and they sort of move away in
Wow, what a response! I just checked my e-mail and my laptop sort of
hiccupped when it found all the responses.
I appreciate all of you responding so quickly. As I learn more about TM (and
then teach my doctor about it) I am sure I will have other questions.
Luckily, the church I serve has been
Hey Rev. Craig,
Welcome to our little society! Just like so much of us, I'm sorry to meet you
this way, but please know we only do one thing here and that is support each
other. I know for a fact that these TMers do so much for eachother that it
borders on an other worldly experience
Craig
Another hearty welcome to the TM family. Yes. the higher temperatures increase
my TM symptoms. Everything intensifies. The burning pain feels hotter, the
banding feels tighter, my bad leg feels heavier and I stumble more. Oddly, the
clonus in my hand is more pronounced and my fingers

Please feel free to use us at any time!
