Brainstem, brainstem; Mine was in the upper brainstem, but not the brain itself, something called the Pons, which is some kind of switching station between brain-will and body-can.

Resent-From: <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Resent-Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2012 13:31:29 -0800 reminds me of something Dalton said before concerning speech,,,,,and when I think about it,, speech is a brain thing,,,so them either there's more to TM than what is actually discovered or there are other things going on "with the brain" that has an effect on speech because speech is a "brain" thing,,,,TM is a "spine" thing. if we only knew...... then again what would we do about it. perhaps it is a residual thing. body freaks out and brain has no way of realigning it so parts of it malfunctions as well. guessing,,,,,practicing medicine without a license,,,,yikes!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Janice Nichols <jan...@centurytel.net> To: randy rankin <rj_ran...@yahoo.com>; TM Group <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 1:10 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] is there a connection between low potassium and TM? One of the first things the hospital check when I got there was my Potassium level. Sadly, that was not the problem. “Celebrated” my 5th year of TM yesterday. I didn’t know that speech could be affected. Where did her “attack” occur?

Mary is not talking or communicating and is able to get to the bathroom with assistance but that side of the family is still clueless. I talked to them about TM, MS, and mylopothy and I might as well been talking about a new island off the coast of Java --- They are mentally fixed on the low potassium situation and not the fact she can't talk and she can't walk. But I did promise that I would ask the group to see if any of you were aware of any connections between low K and the neurological conditions that impacted you - experiencially or diagnostically
