I truly believe that TM was caused by stress in my life. I believe I had nothing more serious than a summer cold, but due to the stress in my life which was extremely high at that time my immune system was weakened allowing the onset of TM. This is not very scientific, but I believe this was the cause for me. To further your research Sal, I would be interested to know if other TM'rs had a similar stressful period prior or during the onset. Rob in New Jersey

I know that we all have adapted to it and forgot about it but instead of having doctors and researchers find the reason why, whats a better source then the person who actually got it..What I am getting at is that i wanted everyone on the list to recall what they did 1 month to a year before their illness...ex: vacation, car accident...just something that you think would trigger it...I was in a car accident 8 months before my onset...also i was eating a lot of fast food and red meat....just even if you dont think it was it just put it down...it may not make a difference for us as it has already happened but what if we can prevent it for our future generations? ________________________________ Never miss a thing.
