Deborah;
Actually, I'm not concerned what the drs call it; it doesn't change how I live if they end up calling it TM or MS or whatever. The name of the thing is their business. It's done its thing if TM and if MS. I just live with it. I don't see any difference, actually. It's not as if we have cancer or something else here. Done is done; so, how would it change anything?

Some doctors are very conservative in their diagnoses while others jump the gun and diagnose too quickly before completing all testing. That did happen to me while I was in the hospital in Minnesota. I had one doctor tell me that I quite possibly had MS and that they wouldn't make an official DX until further attacks, and then another doctor came into my room and told me that the first doctor spoke out of school and I should ignore what he said to me. Just because a doctor says you "have" something does NOT necessarily make it so. They are not always "God", just trying to act like it.

I found several who had MS after getting TM, but so far, I am the only one getting TM after getting MS (things happen!). Good luck, Dalton Garis PS: Are there many persons named Garis or De Garis up there? _____ From: Gerry Surette [mailto:suret...@sympatico.ca] Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 6:40 AM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] hi there; while I had chronic myletopy; I received many good wishes. thank you again for your caring and support.
