@cherilovinherlife hello! thanks for the comment. I also was put on the fetenol patch...how does it work for u? i feel like it is ok the first two days, but on the third, im in a lot of pain. I started on 25mg, then went up to 50 4 months ago when my pain was so severe i was hospitalized 3 days. I hve been doing quite well for about 2 months now, and this month I had my dr reduce me back to 25mg. Its been a week and cannot tell a difference at all, so Im very happy to hopefull be done soon.xoxo

You have a great attitude! I had TM back in 2004, and was one of the third you spoke of. I've been a quadriplegic (C6 complete) ever since. It's creeping up on seven years now. I can't believe it's been so long! It sounds like you are doing very well and I will definitely subscribe to keep up with your progress.

Glad to hear about your recovery. I never heard of TM prior to my own dealings with it. I was diagnosed in November. I was told possible MS as well. They confirmed the initial diagnoses of TM via the MRI. Four months later, still a mess. Blessed that I never lost ability to walk. I so appreciated to hear someone else put in words the feelings and struggles of TM. Thank you. People around me think I'm crazy at times when I tell them what it's like. LOL. Best Wishes :)
