Hello my name is Breck, my mother just got diagnosed with TM it is
effecting her left arm, left side to her left thigh.. it came on
suddenly like I am sure most of yours.. we have so little information on
this.. I am a nurse currently practicing in Oregon my mother is a
retired nurse in California.. I am embarrassed to say I know almost
nothing about this disorder..
I am interested in hearing what most of you have done in regards to
treatment on first onset for comfort (she has very little pain, mostly
numbness), physical therapy, and probably we will be seeing her with
depression soon.. she is a very active woman.. She is 79 yrs young..
Please if anyone would email me I would love to hear about your
course with this.. I notice a lot of frustration in regards to your care
is this what we will be experiencing.. it is good to know all of the
emotional ends of this disease too..
I really appreciate what any of you can offer me.. thank you in
advance..
A concern and worried daughter..
