Jeanne,
My banding was at my bra line, too......I always said
it was the bra God paying me back for hating bras!!
The banding is rare now, after 13 years the 29th of
this month.........but it does raise its head once in a
while just to prove 'he' can still wreak havoc!!!!
jan
p.s. Welcome, Betty......please know that laughter
is a must in the world of tm!!

Welcome, Betty and you have come to a wonderful group of people who will soon
become friends! Just keep reading and you will soon learn all sorts of
different things about TM from physical to emotional and everything in
between. The banding you talk about is a real issue to some of us. Mine is
right at the exact same area where my bra is and is really painful a good part
of the time but meds truly do help. Everyone has to find their own med
'solution' and that's a whole new area to talk about!!! Again, welcome, and
you are blessed for having found this good group! Jeanne in Dayton, WA

Subject: [TMIC] transverse myelitis
I'm a new subscriber to the TM internet club and find the messages interesting.
I was diagnosed with T.M. ( Cl and C 2 level) in 2004 at the age of 77.
Numb from my toes up to and inclucing my neck, I rar3ly feel pain but have much
discomfort from the banding, especially in my torso and neck. I walk well with
a walker, but need my eyes to tell me where my feet ( and seat) are. Without
the walker , balance is a problem.
Anybody have problems similiar to those ? I live in a retirement home where
I'm able to walk and to exercise 5 days a week, and I know this helps.
There is no support group in the area
