Long before TM hit me I began developing ms. The first was foot drop 10 years before my first demylizing event that left me without motor function below the waist - lucky for me in came back with treatment. Those events are very dramatic. But there are other problems we face that altough seem superficial impact us nevertheless. Emotions are results of chemicals in the brain. So are memories and thought processes. In the years before all the very visible physical problems manifested I started exihibiting more and more emotional and relationship based conflicts. I also had memory, direction, and comprehension difficulties. This issues don't seem to be as great of a problem now. I do believe that neurolofical conditions can and do influence the brain and result in increased sensitivity and irritation in many. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

This is why i am frustrated with all of the personal messages being transmitted on this site. -----Original Message----- From: heyjude48...@aol.com To: TMIC-LIST@eskimo.com Sent: Sat, Aug 1, 2009 2:29 am Subject: [TMIC] Regrets from Jude To all on the TM List, Whether you have been on this list for a short time or a very long time, I address my comments to you and I promise not to take up too much of your time. Ever since I joined this List, I have had a tendency to make remarks and write email that has resulted in hurting someone's feelings. I have deeply offended some of the persons whom I most respect in the World, and have never meant to do so. I don't know what is wrong with me. I promise you that I will get help with this continuing issue. I have a friend whom is a psychologist and she says that she will help me with whatever I need. As I have asked you before...please forgive my heartfelt apology. I feel like I have been such an ass to make the comments that I have in some of my emails. I will find elsewhere to go, but before I do, there are people I must take the time to thank. Elle, you know that you are the first person I ever exchanged email with shortly after I became changed by Transverse Myelitis. I must thank you for the unwaivering friendship, the ongoing love, phone calls, email cards and cards when I was in the hospital. Without you and the Prayers you offered up in my name, I never would have lived through that long and mighty illness I love you, Jude
