I had an interesting call from the head of the human resources
department this morning.
each coal mine has a HR man,this was the "big man"
he sounded understanding and said that he would help me to get
in temporary total disability until my social security disability went into
effect.
i was expecting the Ax
it doesnt pay much but at least it helps and i keep my
insurance for 6 months.

Would you believe that on "House" that they had a patient
they diagnosed with TM?! It was brought on by some other problem, not
idiopathec. But, it was at
least exposure to TM.

Well, Bernie;
I can fully appreciate the problem of mis-diagnosis,
because I have gone from being a whole bunch of things this past year, to wit:
1.. Could be Lyme Disease. No, that’s not right. All
tests were negative for Lyme. But you never know!
2.. Ok! Multiple Sclerosis. That’s it, because it is
targeting just the left side and you had two attacks more than one month apart
from which you mostly recovered. Ah, not so fast. We’ll call it,
“demyelinating disease, unspecified.”
3.. It’s TM. Definitely! It is on both sides of your
body equally now; it followed a severe, unexplained backache, it affects you
from the level of several thoracic vertebrae, and your reactions are
hypersensitive, you are spasmodic all over, there is banding pain in the torso,
and . . . , and . . . , and . . . . Diagnosis: “Transverse myelitis, partial.”
4.. (5 months later) Well, good news! The MRI was
basically clear in spine and brain, except where we can’t see because of your
steel rods (most of the back), and some weird stuff in your brainstem. It is
therefore likely all due to your old back fusions and the steel rods. We’ll
hold off re-diagnosing for now.
5.. OK, wait: The old back fusions and steel rods are all
pristine. No difficulty there. Maybe epilepsy, That could explain a lot of
what you seem to be suffering.
6.. Well, no epilepsy. Tests were all negative.
7.. And, your new symptoms, fatigue, facial pain on left
side only; no headache or migraine—myasthenia gravis ?
8.. Meanwhile, how is your Lyrica holding out? Need a
refill?
LOL!
What happened to the TM? Am I one of those who got mostly
better? Myasthenia gravis? I am now having new symptoms of extreme fatigue
and pain in the limbs and left side of the face, needles and pins. For a while
now I have tried to get up in the morning only to be forced back to bed by
fatigue and pain. After more rest and two more attempts I succeed in getting
up and dressed. My spine is just burning up, from thoracic to lumbar. But
that is an old symptom. The attacks of spasms are mostly gone now.
Good thing I teach an 11:00 lecture and can sit in my
office the rest of the time. My old skating routine several times per week, or
even once per week, is not possible at the moment. It now hurts to type for
very long.
I am desperate for ideas here. Anyone with some thoughts
on this sack of symptoms?
I have no idea what is happening, and the neuro has given
up thinking about it. I hope to get with another neuro this week or next.
Hope all this will pass and I can get back to where I was a few weeks ago.
Dalton

I believe that a LOT of people were misdiagnosed years
ago as they did not have the diagnostic tools we have today. I believe that
people are still misdiagnosed in our times now, due to doctors either not
knowing about it, misinformation, or just plain hard heads who won't listen
to anyone else. Even though I was diagnosed with TM, I still think I have MS,
but cannot have an MRI done because of the pump in my abdomen. Just my 2
cents worth.
Peace,
Bernie in Texas
