<< Sharon and All, Glad to hear the meds are helping.Modern medicine gets
better all the time.I've heard of a few people who were dx with tm then
went on to ms.One neuro doc I know of believes that tm is a "one-shot"
deal and any recurrences mean it was ms all along,and was misdiagnosed
to start with.Any thoughts on this? >>

Cheryl and All:

After I was dxed with TM the neuro said that he would expect me to continue to
get better. After I had several more episodes he told me that I should be
having fewer problems, not more. That's when he spoke to me again about the
possibility of having MS. I think the common, usual thing is for people with
TM to progressively get better. But, then there are the others who don't. I
think there are too many exceptions to the rule to be able to say definately.
I did get the feeling though that my neuro thought I had MS from the first
time I went to see him and was dxed with TM. I think it had to do with the
lack of severe symptoms, but that's just a guess.

WHO KNOWS????? I certainly don't have any answers, but I wish I did.
