I was always very impatient before tm. Now I am more relaxed and understanding than I ever was. It is a noticeable difference to everyone,myself included. Cheryl

I said this over and over to myself, still in a kind of disbelief that this had happened to me. It is a constant battle with the body, new problems developing periodically, but I am still here and I am the same person that I was before TM, maybe better. I am much more tolerant of people now and have more patience in daily life. I understand things on a much deeper level than before and I feel more. I am not saying that I don't vent every once in a while, but I guess I am trying to make lemonade out of lemons. I realize that I have only had TM for almost 4 years, and that many of you have had TM many more years and were left with many more problems than me. It would be interesting to hear from others on how TM left you on a mental or emotional level on a day- to- day basis. What changes you have noticed about yourself?

Hot and cold have no more effect on me now than before TM. It just continues to show that despite our similarities no two of us are exactly the same.

I don’t have any problems with hot weather. I have always sweat more in my hair than anywhere else, even before TM. My problem is the cold. I am always cold so I guess that is why the hot weather doesn’t affect me too much. I do like sleeping in a cool room and like lots of blankets. I was told with TM your internal thermostat is not working properly.

My lesions are L4, L5 and S1 and now since TM, the only place I sweat is my head and when I sweat, I sweat profusely, I mean to the point that it drips off my nose and down the sides of my head... I sweat no other place on my body, even during the summer on hot days outside. I get warm, but I do not sweat. No underarm sweat, nothing.....

No one has ever had an explanation for this.A couple of docs even suggested that maybe I always had this and just noticed it after tm! Cheryl in Easthampton,MA
