Martin, I have always been willing to listen to our Dr's advice...he just
doesn't have any advice that has worked. There is no cure for TM, just
supportive treatment. Well I for one am not willing to have my son on pain
killers the rest of his life. They don't fix anything, they just mask the
pain. And a back brace for the curve in his spine just leaves him not
being able to cath himself or transfer himself, but the chiropractic
techniques have been helping. Our Dr's have been wonderful in explaining
what is wrong and through listening to all of these great people on the
list and doing research ourselves we have come up with different things
that really help. Judi
