One thing that I have noticed is that if I talk out loud when I walk, I do a WHOLE lot better. I can walk but most often have to watch my feet but if I say out loud, "Walk, walk, walk..." I instantly can walk smoother and so much better. It's like Frank says, it all has to do with the messages coming from our brains down to where we need them. -------Original Message------- From: L T CHERPESKI Date: 3/22/2008 9:34:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; tmic-list@eskimo.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TMIC] Fwd: Sweating Thank you Frank for the information. This sure answers a lot of my questions. And probably like most of us, each day is different with these symptoms.

Hey all, TM affects the spinal cord which is full of nerves. Some of the nerves carry sensation, some carry motor signals that make the muscles contract, bones to move, aim my finger at the keyboard and make sure that my finger lands on the right key. There are also nerves that control the flow of blood in our hands, feet, skin, everywhere in our bodies. All these nerves get messed up with the damage to the spinal cord so we get cold, or hot feet /hands, swelling where there shouldn't be any, lack or profuse sweating. I could go on... F
