Jude, I too am sorry that you've been back in the hospital, but it is good to see your post on the list. I too have had a difficult year. After 16 years with Transverse Myelitis I developed a new autoimmune disease, Mononeuritis Multiplex that attacks peripheral blood vessels and nerves. I've had about six months of IV steroids once a week and am taking an immune suppressant, Azathioprine. My wife was also diagnosed with Parkinsons in December. What doesn't kill us just makes us stronger (I guess). Hope things go well for you now.

I hope all is well now for a long, long time. In early February, I too was in the hospital. It started with a BAD ear infection and went into a bad UTI. In fact, my doctor said she had never seen such a severe UTI. I understand that when you are older they can be very, very serious. I lost all the strength and mobility I had achieved after getting TM, so I spent another week in rehab and then 5 weeks with PT at home. You take care and I hope to see more posts from you in the future, even just to say “III” Patti - Wisconsin From: Jude Hoops [mailto:heyjude48...@aol.com] Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 3:26 AM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] Hello, from Jude Hey friends, Home from the hospital again, treated for another bad UTI and blood infection.
