Hi, Ruben, We do welcome you with arms wide open and at the same time are sorry that old TM hit you. You will find a wonderful group of very caring people that you can share with when you need help.
The only thing I can think of is to get right down to the DSHS and talk to them. I think you will get some help and shouldn't have to wait long. They can help with your medical plus food and misc. things, I would think. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

I was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago, and my medical bills are piling up and with 4 children and a wife, it is starting to really take a toll on my family. Just wanted to reach out to everyone and see if there was anything out there to help. Also, I also wanted to ask the question to everyone out there is anyone else has experienced other problems besides TM, ie. chronic upper back pain, memory loss, confusion, etc... The reason I ask is I have been dealing with chronic upper back pain for a couple of years now and I am having a lot of mental problems as well, ie. a lot of anxiety, paranoia, depression, and a lot of emotional outbursts. All of this happened before I had my TM attack. Love this support group, really has given me some hope that I can go on and deal with everything. Thanks everyone in advance for your help.
