Hello,Janice,
I came down with Tm in Oct of 2002, so now nearly 7 years. Been to Dr. Kerr and
to "Dr. Jamie" at Bayview in Baltimore for implantation of a neurostimulator to
help with bladder control. I was affected at L-5/S-1, so am mostly dealing with
leg and foot problems. I am able to walk with a cane, tire easily, have
depression, and much numbness from perineum on down. I got SS disability on the
first try, don't feel like I have much to complain about, really.

Well, hello folks, I've been off the list awhile--and been lurking
again the last couple of weeks. The muscles in my legs and feet were so tight I
felt like I was walking on a couple of two-by-fours. My therapist says I might
as well have been. She's been working on loosening my leg muscles for about 3
years now, and we actually are getting somewhere. This last week my legs were
as looser than they ever have been. I have weekly massage therapy on my legs
and feet. Just a different way of going about it I guess. 'Course I have to
use those muscles or they just tighten up again--or even if I do. at least
it's more comfortable and probably not any more costly than some of the meds.
Cora
