My husband is a 15 year diabetic and uses a Homedics percussion messager on his legs every night while watching TV. He curls up on the sofa and does what can be reached in that position then changes and curls up next to me and does the other leg. I don't know if this would help you between mes

Barbara, I would hug everyone if I could. This is so great. No one (except this bunch) knows how disconcerting it is to be leaking, voiding, urinating all the time, even if I do have enough pads on to keep it from leaking to outer clothes. Also, with all that padding, how much is it affecting my

Hey: Diathermy is the one thing I cannot have since the implanting of my Interstim (neurostimulation device). I got a medical ID tag to wear to warn of the presence of the device and that diathermy is not good for me--or more accurately, nnot good for the device. BTW, the company representative th

My left hand (which is where my TM symptoms first started) used to get extremely cold -- I can remember some time after I was able to drive again driving with one hand and having my left hand tucked under my right arm to try to get it warm. It's better than it used to be, but a lot of time

I use MIRE / Anodyne Therapy 3 times a week that does help me, but we have now heard of Diathermy that could be better. Diathermy: "The therapeutic generation of local heat in body tissues by high-frequency electromagnetic currents." It looks like the MIRE is another option to Diathermy f

Dear Kristy, I also have cold spots on my legs and arms, but only when I lie down at night. When I am upright and walking, I don't feel cold at all. In fact, I have a burning and tingling sensation in my legs. I take lyrica for that. Sometimes when I'm sitting next to a lamp, I feel

Hi, This does seem the norm for those of us with TM. I find that it is very difficult for me to be in an air conditioned room. If any cold air hits my upper body my legs seem to be in a bucket of ice. I live in Fla. and my house is always kepton the warm side as I cannot take any cold
