Patti - you really had an eye opener! Sometimes it only takes 1
unsuspected drug to do the trick. I have had similar feelings - just
chalk it up to good old TM!!!

Subject: Re: [TMIC] Hey everybody,
I'm here and on Face Book. I haven't had any changes in my TM, but I do have
an interesting story about a suspected relapse.
In December, 2013, I thought I had a TM relapse or a stroke and went to ER
walking and talking as if I was in a drunken stupor. CT, MRI's, and Labs
showed nothing new had happened and I recovered fine. My doctors and I were
stumped.
In December 2014, I woke up one morning feeling my "TM normal" with the
start of a cold. I went thru my routine of meds, reading, and coffee. I
had difficulty standing up, my walking was bad and felt drunk when I started
for another cup of coffee. I again wondered if I was having a TM relapse.
I sat and compared the two "relapses". I didn't want to go thru another 36
hour observation in ER. I felt and walked and talked as if drunk both
times. I had the start of a cold both times. I had taken cough syrup both
times, but the bottle was almost empty so it couldn't be that.
I didn't have a relapse at all. I had a reaction to taking a full dose of
cough syrup with Dextromethorphan and my TM meds Lyrica and Baclofen - on an
empty stomach.
What a relief! I saw my PCP yesterday for my RX renewals and I think she
was as relieved as I was. That means no TM relapses in 11 years. Praise the
Lord!

Hi Nikki,
I remember you! The old group has pretty well disbanded and gone to
Facebook , etc. I have had TM for 8 years and there is always
something improving. You have to work hard at it and keep moving, but it
really pays off. Once in a while the bladder even improves for a
hile - and then to the usual, but I will take what I can get. I really
wish doctor's would not give a time limit on improvement - we all go at
different paces with
different problems to deal with. You sound great and I am really
proud of all your accomplishments. It couldn't have been easy for you.
Keep in touch.

Subject: [TMIC] Hey everybody,
Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've been in here and I was wondering how
everyone
was doing. Any improvement. The last time I posted I was really messed up
mentally. Suicidal and really low, a horrible time in my life. My life
has
changed dramatically since then, me and my fiancé of nearly 10 years
broke
up and I never though I'd say this but it was for the best. I am much
happier. I live in my little bungalow with my dog Finlay who I've had
since
before TM and have 24/7 care. My depression is much better, it is now
stable
and under control. I am getting out and about much more especially since
I
recently got my new powered wheelchair. I am starting to not only love
life
again but love myself again. I also have more positive news, I have
recently
been experiencing some weird sensations in my left hand and some of my
fingers which I can only describe as what feels like pins and needles. I
figured this is a good thing considering it is numb until I get these
episodes. I've also had episodes of feeling as though the soles of feet
are
burning like they are on fire. TM struck me on 15/02/2011. Doctors told
me
after a certain period of time that would be the end of the improvement.
I
believe that you may continue to improve way after that (I have). Has
anyone
else experienced anything like this?
