Second question that came up today. . .I haven't seen the doctor
since last September when TM was finally diagnosed. He was (is) a
jerk so I haven't wanted to return. However, in the normal course of
things is there usually a follow-up MRI to check progress? Or is
progress just measured in terms of improved symptoms?
Thanks much.

I fell at work and the next day i could not pee. I went to a doctor
and
he gave me a cathiter and drained my pee. The next day I was not
abel to
see good out of my left eye.
I could not walk without holding on to a wall. I went to the
hospital
and they gave me an asprin and told me to go home.
The next day I thought I was going to dye. I returned to the
hospital
and they admited me for two weeks. I remember the doctor asked who
was
the president and I did not know.
I was given the steroids and the antibiotics and left the hospital
with
a bag of medicane. I gave myself the shots. Than I took pills for a
month.
I seem to be ok now except for my feet and legs. They are still
numb.
I returned to the hospital and they said I was ok. I think when I
fell
it caused my trouble.
But i may have the TM. I dont know. >>
alex98,
I think you may be correct in thinking your fall caused your
trouble. The
information contained in your letter does not indicate you have tm.
Hopefully,you will completely recover the feeling in your legs and
feet. Your
symptoms also parallel a trauma to the CNS. A serious injury indeed.
Did they
find anything on an MRI or X-ray? Good luck to you.
