Dear Saroj,   It is so wonderful to hear from you!!  I'm sorry you've had a tough legal battle that took so much out of you.  I remembered that you were having to deal with something besides your health, but couldn't remember the details.   Glad you won your case and now maybe you will have

Saroj, I know you don't know me but I do understand the importance of doing something that might take your mind off of your pain even for a little bit or as long as your mind can do it. My Neurologist told me to do what i can as hard as i can for as long as i can and when i cant , don't

Saroj, when I saw your name on the August TM Birthday list, I wondered about you and how you were doing. It's so very good to hear from you again. I am sorry about the legal battle -- I know that kind of thing can sap your energy. I am glad you won the case and it is over now. Barbara H.

I feel pretty much like Patti. There are never any pain free times however there are times that I can get engrossed in reading, sewing, crocheting etc and don't think of the pain. However, then I go to move or do something else and 'Shazam' is the right word. Nothing wants to move and it all

I know the heat is tough on us with TM, what weather isn’t? But . . . I much prefer the heat to the cold. Of course where I live it doesn’t get that hot, only around 29 Celcius, and I am sorry to my American friends but I am not sure how much that is in Farenheit. Perhaps around 85? Heather
