Hi Janice,
I have the banding;it's a severe tightness around my trunk from T4 to just
below my waist. It has been constant since 8/13/95 when tm hit me. It gets
tighter and more uncomfortable if I do anything more than my usual routine. At
times it is so tight I can't take in a deep breath.It is not painful. I take
baclofen 30 mgm twice a day;have been on that amount since onset of tm.I tried
to cut down the baclofen,but then the tightness becomes unbearable.

Okay, I have decided that I don't really have any banding. I have a
pressure feeling about my waist, but no pain.
I am really for you all that have the pain - surely there is something a doc
can do to help relieve this. Does anyone
out there get relief from the banding pain - any meds?
Janice

Subject: [TMIC] That banding feeling
Thank you everyone for your replies. I recently got to thinking about that
banding feeling that I had experienced early on (for me it was completely
around the bra line and felt as if I had a belt on waaaaay too tight there) and
wondered if there was a relationship between those that had that and developed
MS. I thought that maybe the banding was unique to MS but apparently I was
wrong. :-) I am thankful that my experience with the banding was just weird and
uncomfortable, not painful as some of you felt. This TM business is some weird
stuff, isn't it?
Thanks again!
Laura
