To Emily and her Husband. TM truely is a shock to all involved. I mean,,,,,who would ever imagine this would happen.
one of my Doc's said TM was something you looked at in med school but never seen it. my neurologist said all you can do is treat the symptoms and do what you can when you can as hard as you can but if you can't then just rest until you can. He incourages physical theropy and well should because the parts effected can go to sleep,so to speak,and thats another world of hurt! tell hubby to talk with us,,you talk with us,,,we are interested more than anybody in how he is doing be it good or unpleasnt as well as how you are standing up under this new world you are in! these people have encouraged me more than I can thank them for,,just being people who truely understand what I have and am suffering. we all have the hardness of this thing and understand more than anyone else,,,,we live it with you! my name is John. I live in WV I am the hill-billy of the bunch ;) (computer tech for 8 years tractor driver for 5) anything before that is tooooo old From:Emily [mailto:em...@telephonelady.com] Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 11:11 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
