Bob,
Did you mean tinkling or tingling? :-)
Both apply in my case!
Seriously, my attitude toward drugs is the same as yours. That is one reason I
don't want to be on anything all the time if I can help it. But does anyone
know of any drug taken for TM or MS that can be taken only on an as-needed
basis when symptoms flare up worse than "usual" for short periods of time?
