Hello Mark,
How sorry I am to welcome you to the TM Internet Club, but how glad I am
that you have found us, and we, you. TM is one terrible disease that has many
diverse effects and is better in some than others. There are as many forms of
medications as there are forms of the illness. I shouldn't say forms of
illness, but rather degrees of it. Some of us are hit harder than others, but
virtually all of us are left with "reminders" that we have been visited by
Transverse Myelitis.
You are so fortunate to be being seen by the formost medical center for TM
in the country. Johns Hopkins is the first hospital affiliated with the
disease and it is renown for its medical responsiveness. Dr. Kerr, et al. the
best at what they do.
Keep us informed as to what they find and prescribe for your symptoms. Best
of everything to you and your family. Keep your chin up although sometimes
it is difficult. Stay brave, and you will stay in our Prayers. There is
much I would like to say but am not up to it at the moment. Just know that we
are here for you and you will sometimes here more from us than at others.
Bless You,
Jude
