Something strange seemed to happen when I dropped a line to Rob, whereby the world and his brother were sent a cc! I don't know how or why but hope this hasn't caused a problem. Iris UK

On the subject of the need for a neurologist, I was discharged by mine after two years on the grounds that there was nothing else to be done to help me. This leaves me in care of my GP practice where there is now no doctor with any knowledge of TM. Their only function for me is to renew my prescr

Hi, yes I'm still here although I'm never quite sure whether I should be. I seem to be the only UK contributor and would like to say thanks everyone for including me. I miss the regular emails and have joined Facebook with a view to making contact there. Iris UK On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 3:10 PM, G

Patti/Regina I agree. Feeling sorry for myself as my 70th approaches and my third year with TM but I can get around with a cane and know things could be so much worse. How sad to be struck so severely and so young. Iris UK On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 3:01 PM, Pat Cooley wrote: > Regina, I feel he s

Hello Everyone - A Happy New Year to all. Just saw ice dancing king, Christopher Dean,praising these wristbands. I have no hopes of taking to the ice, although I did enjoy roller skating back in the day, but has anyone tried these bands for balance problems caused by TM damage? re the recent disc

Maybe I can share with the group my recently discovered brilliant "aid". They are fingerless gloves with a flip-over section which when in place makes them look like mittens. This top easily peels back to enable fiddling with purse, etc. without your hands seizing up with the cold. Iris UK On Fr

[TMIC] Sativex

2010-07-24 Thread I Whiddett
Wonder if any of my fellow TMers have experience of Sativex, particularly for banding? I'm due to see my neurologist next month and would appreciate any info before raising the possibility of a trial. I see it can be of use for over active bladder problems which would be helpful but there is no r

[TMIC] Myelin Regeneration

Once again, I am so thankful to have found this group. I had no previous knowledge of myelin regeneration and at last have some understanding of what has taken place to cause the residual banding and numbness. My story, briefly, is that in May last year I had a series of 'episodes' over 5 days tha

I'd like to say thanks for welcoming me to the group. Friends and relatives are kind and supportive but have no knowledge of the condition and it's hard to explain what I am experiencing as I have never known anything like it before. Do you have many UK members? Best wishes Iris
