Hey, Janice! We missed you. And I missed you. Glad to have you back with us.
I have a question for everyone. A recent set of MRIs showed that my spine in the thoracic was clear with no lesions or swellings. It has been one year since the diagnosis for TM. Do these lesions clear up later on, or did somebody make a mistake somewhere? Because my everyday symptoms are still weakness and pain from fingers to just above the elbow, and from toes to above the knees with banding and burning in the torso and back. And if I exercise at all, the next day I am in for day-long spasms that leave me housebound and often unable to get around without assistance of my dear part-time maid and helper. Could someone get back to me on this? Thanks a lot.

You have a different set of problems that I have not heard in other TM'ers. Sure wish you would get you act together - scares me!!! Seriously, I hope that is the last day you will have like that.

Every time I tried to talk I would cramp up. And Elvis was definitely being channeled in my body. Thank heavens I had the assistance of a very nice and strong maid who visits me once a week. It was her day to visit and she stayed with me and helped me to the bathroom and into and out of chairs. It was hard to sit down because I couldn¹t make my body bend and I¹d just slide off. But we got it under control. She had to help me drink and eat. I would grab the coffee cup handle and then could not make my hand let go. In the mean time I was so grateful for her assistance and that the Lord was taking care of me that I was also as high as a kite and proposing marriage to chairs and such. Today was the beginning of the work week here (Abu Dhabi) and I did alright. But the lecture kept going off on these tangents making it hard for my class to take useful notes. It was because my mental state was still flying around the cosmos. What is going on here? OK, I have TM in my upper spine; but what is this mental derangement stuff? I sure wish the drs could find out what is wrong with me.

It's very good to hear this. I do think that it is a good idea to keep this list going though in case there are any newbies who may need us and don't think there is anyone here to listen to them. If a couple of days pass without any messages, let's send in a message or two. Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA
