For my 11 year old daughter, at the time, being told that she would never walk again was the most devastating news that anyone could ever hear. She had the mentality, for quite a while, that since he told her that she would never walk again, then why should she even try to get better. When she started to see improvement in herself after she started outpatient therapy, her attitude changed. She became so much more determined to prove him wrong. If I had to power to rewind and go back in time to February 1, 2005, I don't honestly think I would change a thing. It was at the point that my husband and I were not as close as we had once been(I had actually thought about leaving), I had gained some weight, my 3 children were constantly bickering and no one seemed happy. One night I was driving home and I prayed that I would like to be closer with my husband and I wanted my children to get along better, and if God were so minded, would he please help me lose about 10 pounds. I kid you not, she went down about a week or so after that. My husband and I became so close that it was hard to say goodbye to him when he left the hospital at night to go home to care for our other 2 children. My son(now 19) and other daughter(almost 11) have bonded like you wouldn't believe and all 3 of my kids sit and talk all of the time now. Sure, they still bicker, but nothing like they had before. They have all come to value what they have been given and don't take anything for granted any more. As for me, yep, you guessed it. I lost 10 pounds while Ash was in the hospital for those 31 days! For a while after all of this happened, I was so happy that our family was back the way I wanted it to be but I was also very guilty feeling, thinking that I had basically asked for this to happen. For the longest time, I wouldn't even pray. The only thing that kept going through my head was "be careful what you wish for". I have since started back up but still am very careful for what I pray for. Tracey L.

This was also the same neuro that told her, at age 11, that she would never walk again, so she should be prepared and he looked at us and told us to make our home handicap accessible. He didn't discuss any of this prior to talking to her. He just walked in an announced it. Needless to say, we never went back to see him and SHE IS WALKING!! He has since left that hospital but is at another facility. If it were closer to home, I would take my daughter to see him and show him how wrong he really was. Tracey L.

I'm really sorry to tell you that I had no stress in my life, no antibiotics, no root canals, etc.,etc, before TM hit. I did have a "summer cold." "summer colds" can be coxaki (?) related and that has been directly related to TM, I believe. Almost everyone has stress... I would make the hypothesis that TM is related to ... Eating any food, or even better, Drinking water !! How many of you drank water (in Tea, Coffee, Sodas, Milk, Mixed in O.J., Etc.) before being afflicted with T.M.??? I bet we all did!!
