I received an email from someone who wrote "I am distressed to see that your archives are public and anyone can search my name and come up with some very private medical information." My goodness, most of us are adults who have a spinal cord disorder and have pretty much given up on our privacy when it comes to questions asked and answers given regarding our specific needs. It is most likely that at one time or another we have had to grow up and speak like an adult about topics we might not have spoken openly about before we became humbled by, in our case, Transverse Myelitis, a disease we need to become more vocal about, if anything. The TMIC List is edited by adept persons donating their time to whatever task it is that they are overseeing. There are strict rules and regulations regarding speach when alluding to private physical issues. We have come to grow up and use real words, such as urinating over going potty, for example. Maybe there ought to be an "Adult Content" header somewhere in our initial dialouge, but one will not be able to find anything pornographic or anything even near so in the context of the words used regarding Transverse Myelitis in all of its questions and answers. If you have a difficulty with words such as penis or vagina then, yes, you may have a problem and ought to take your unfortunate spinal cord injury somewhere else, but remember, as you go, here...you will find the truth backed up by the latest news coverage, lively discussion and so many hugs, so much love, and all of the Prayers you want, that I doubt you will find anywhere else. Now...what is your question? And, oh, by the way, I know more than just a few people who go by aliases and even at least one of us who writes very intelligently to the list under at least three names and addresses.
