We all hate the circumstances, but we welcome you and your husband with open arms. Some of the more knowledgeable of the TM'ers I am sure will weigh in on your question of "support group for spouses". On the other hand, you both can and should be a part of us too. We are full of support and much information of meds we are taking, etc. We also make a good "sounding board" when frustration sets in. With both of you having a positive outlook, things will go much better for you. We are always here for both of you. Janice, in Missouri From: Emily Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 11:10 AM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] New to TM Hi Everyone, My husband has recently (September 2nd) been diagnosed with Idiopathic TM. He was treated at Pennsylvania Hospital under the care of a team of Neurologists. He was given mega doses of Prednisone and is currently weaning with oral prednisone. He was discharged from the hospital last Thursday and he is now working hard at an acute rehabilitation center (3-5 hours each day). He has a very positive outlook and is “taking it one day at a time”. My question is this……is there a support group for spouses of TM? Emily Life is not measured by the number of breaths that we take but by the moments that take our breath away.
