Frank,
I had no idea you were such a talented man before TM. You were and are
very impressive. I am sorry for the other
problems that have occurred. Life just isn't fair - even to good people.
You and Grace have calmed my fears. Thank you.
Janice

*I think that we have to remember that just because one has TM doesn't
mean
that one is immune from all of the other diseases and disorders that are
out
there. Hypertension, diabetes, cancers, sudden illness, accidents, etc.
Then too, we age, and with aging often come other health concerns.*
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.
Take Care,
F
