I sure don’t have spells like you do, Dalton! I count myself very
fortunate. Maybe you can write some new music – something pretty, not what
they are coming
up with today.

My Neurologist says I happened to catch the Indian variety of TM—we have so
many Indians and other South Asians working here as expats. The Indian variety
is actually new and as yet not fully described. The Japanese form is what
afflicts most, unfortunately, since it most always paralyzes and comes on very
quickly.
I am very happy nonetheless. These lost says are OK for me now, since I am in
my 60's and have no physical goals or burdens to deal with, now that I can no
longer work as Associate Professor and lecturer.
Never mind; lots of stuff to write, study and think about. And I got a
mandolin to learn to play. My brother plays and we will make music together,
as we did when we were all kids. That's what you did in those days, we made
our own music. My mother sang, Dad played his mandolin, my sister played the
piano, and my brother was on the guitar.
So, what's the problem? I was just curious if anyone else had these continuous
and on-going spells.
Thanks, all,
Dalton

it is documented that TM can come on in a short time or over a period of
time. mine came over a period of time but nonetheless when the time came I went
to the hospital!but with mostly the same symptoms as others with the banding in
the side and the tingling and loss of coordination and well,,,,,stuff.
it is a scary feeling when you are walking and it is as if the earth is
moving away from your feet!and when cold feels hot and hot feels cold.

HI ANNIE I READ YOUR STORY AND WAS THINKING I SHOULD TELL MINE. I
AM NOW 76 AND HAVE HAD TM FOR 10 YEARS. I AWOKE ONE MORNING AND GOT OUT OF BED
AND MY LEGS WOULD NOT HOLD ME. I JUST MADE IT TO THE PHONE TO CALL MY HUSBAND
AND SAID SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO ME. HE WAS HOME BEFORE THE EMS . THEY TOOK
ME TO THE HOSPITAL BUT NO ONE NEW WHAT WAS WAS WRONG, I COULD NOT MOVE AT ALL.
I WAS SO SCARED AND SO WERE MY FAMILY.. THEY THEN SENT ME TO YALE HOSPITAL.
THEY TOOK ALL TEST AND THEN SAID IT WAS TM. WHO KNEW WHAT TM WAS. I WENT TO
GAYLORE FOR REHAB AND AFTER A MONTH I STARTED TO MOVE MY ARMS BUT WITH PAIN.
THATS HOW FAR I GOT. I AM NOW IN A WHEEL CHAIR . MY PAIN IS UNDER CONTROL AS
BEST IT CAN BE. I HOPE YOU WILL KEEP TRYING TO TAKE CARE. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH
YOU. I HAVE A WOUNDERFUL HUSBAND THAT TAKES CARE OF ME SO I AM BLESSED. MARIE
