It was extremely painful for the first few years, but now I only have pain below my right breast at night. My hands are paralyzed, and I can't unhook my bra so sometimes I have to sleep with it on, and that really hurts--I try to go to sleep asap! Lyrica helps me a lot with the banding. ~I've got that banding feeling, ohohoh, that banding feeling I've got that banding feeling And it's not gone, gone, gone It's not gone, gone, gone ohohohohoh!~ LOL Have a wonderful day!

It's been too long and we've missed you. I'm getting pretty sick of this banding too. And I've had the same thing with the breathing. What's up with that?? The first time it happened I was actually a little scared. If I would mind my P's and Q's and not try to do too much in one day, ALL of my aches and pains would be more manageable.....well, maybe love, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: heyjude48...@aol.com<mailto:heyjude48...@aol.com> To: jrush...@columbiaenergyllc.com<mailto:jrush...@columbiaenergyllc.com> ; tmic-list@eskimo.com<mailto:tmic-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 6:09 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] That banding feeling Hi Jeanne, The banding has been exactly the same for me. It has been with me since day one and starts underneath my breasts and goes all the way around my abdomen. When it gets real bad, it continues downward until I feel completely enveloped by it. Sometimes it hurts so badly it hurts to even breathe. I don't let TM or anything get me down, but I am beginning to feel angry, after seven years. I am pissed because I cannot work in the garden and go places without it being a big deal to get dressed, fix my hair and sometimes put on make up so the pain doesn't show so badly. I was told that I looked old when I am in pain...by a sweet 14 year old boy. "Thank you very much". For the constipation problem, for years I have used Fish Oil capsules, one per day and I get them from the health food store or my pharmacy. They work like a dream. And I have the kind of bowel that moves the poop down to "the vault", but will not push it out, so I have done digital removable for ever and ever. It's not fun, but we need to do what we need to do... Love and Prayers, Jude In a message dated 8/11/2009 1:09:43 P.M.

Without the meds, it is excruciatingly painful and just heads south to my toes. Funny how you can hurt so bad and 'not feel'??? Explain that to someone?? ::)) Gosh, I'm so happy you all are in my life..Jeanne -------Original Message------- From: laura.eich...@gmail.com<mailto:laura.eich...@gmail.com> Date: 8/10/2009 10:56:05 PM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com<mailto:tmic-list@eskimo.com> Subject: [TMIC] That banding feeling Those of you who got that banding feeling do you all just have TM or did you also get subsequently diagnosed with MS too? And if you did experience the banding feeling, did you experience it at the beginning of your TM (or MS) journey or somewhere down the road? :-) Just wondering if TM'ers get the banding feeling or is it only those that get MS too. I had it at the start of my TM but it went away after a month or two. I had a very mild case of TM and as of yet not diagnosed with MS. Thanks! -- Laura ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
