I couldn't have said it better. Personally, After TM came to me, I stopped climbing mountains, sailing, bicycling, and making long luscious love. Constant pain and allodynia from my lower neck down to the bottoms of my feet gets in the way of a normal life. I was unable to play the piano, violin, french-horn, guitar, ukulele, and afew other instruments that help reduce stress. I lost the ability to write stories and use the keyboard easily. I type around four words per minute now, and make many mistakes because my fingers don't go and land where I want them to. I started gaining weight from the therapeutic Prednisone. My weight gain caused "The Metabolic Syndrome" including high blood pressure, high lipids, abdominal lipidocyte multiplication and Diabetes. All these diseases just from one little attack of TM.
