Jeff, I recall seeing some articles in New Mobility Magazine on this. Dr. Kim
Anderson did a study some years back on things that were most important to
para's and to quad's. Surprisingly for para's, walking was listed below sexual
function. Not that it helps you with your question.

Memory loss definitely.
i was an associate professor of economics at an engineering college, and could
enter a classroom and teach the entire lecture without notes of any kind. But
after getting ™ and after a couple of disastrous lectures wherein I blanked out
(or had seizures), I was let go.
i was a work-a-holic
i sure miss that!

and then, as most of you knowthings here
I wasn't offended, I just didn't know how to answer your question, being a
woman it is difficult to know what to say. It's been so long since Dave
and I have had sex, it's hard to remember.

It's not that I was offended, I just didn't know how to answer you. I'm

I was having trouble reading, drifting and falling asleep. I realized it
was the print size and the contrast between the paper and the ink, they just
blurred together making it impossible to comprehend anything.
I bought a Kindle and what a difference, I could read for 1-2 hours without
Hi Kim,
I hear you. I live on Long Island, NY so the winters are better than the
northern states. I have not worn socks for over 4 years, don't know how
many I tried. I have to wear shoes for work. Only ones I can tolerate for
short periods of time are the Easy Spirit Traveltime shoes.
I just had Shingles this last Labor Day. Noticed raised bumps on my
stomach, left of the midline, around to the spine. PA didn't mention
shingles, next day, Saturday went to the emergency room as my husband and I
thought it was shingles and know the importance of getting the medication
early.
Lucky/smart girl!!

As I get older (I am 67), my balance is worse walking can really fatigue me.
Also it seems the weather bothers me more. I use a walker at home try to only
use my cane when going out if I have someone on the other side to hold onto
steady my walking. When I go to the grocery store I use one

interaction I had with the children, parents, colleagues,

In the beginning, TM had stolen my independence.I fought very hard to gain
back as much as possible and can now go out and shop, drive, walk out in my
own yard, go to the theater, with my walker and friends to help me, etc.
Of course, this is done with planning, usually for short
Linda,
I have a good friend who has tremors in his hands too.You are right, he
says a good stiff drink makes a difference with his tremors!
You are making the best of what TM has done to you and that is saying a lot!!
Keep it up and keep responding.

I do have memory problems. Not just forgetting names of things, but
situations that happened a week ago, or the day after I see a movie,
I forget what it was.Eventually I think of it, but it is scary for my
husband to be talking about an incident, and I don’t remember it.

I hope it's ok to butt in, I haven't had a drink since I first tried one
shortly after coming down with TM. It knocked me for a loop! Almost fell

If you've never seen them before, there are many on-line games on
gamehouse.com that can help with memory... my personal favorite is
Super TextTwist. It is a really good game you can play by yourself.

Thanks Betty, I'm always looking for new things to do during the day.
