I must say everyone has been so friendly and I have learned so much
here. I have only been dealing with TM since July 11, 1998 so it is going to
be a year soon. I know at first the doctors kept saying well you should be
alright in about three months. Well needless to day three months have come
and gone and I still experiencing a lot of the original signs. But I really
can't complain. After reading what so many of you have been through, I feel
very lucky. I think my most difficult thing to deal with is that I was a
pretty independent person until this and now I have to keep asking people for
help. Well actually my friends pretty much ask what they can do, but I would
love to get back to being able to do it myself. The most frustrating part of
TM is for the last two years I had been working out six days a week, and lost
about 70 or 75 pounds. (I have had a weight problem all my life). I was
feeling really good and looking great when all of a sudden this happened. I
have gain so much of my weight back and it just absolutely upsets me. I keep
hoping that I will be able to get back to working out hard again so I keep at
it.
Well I guess I have rambled on long enough. See what happens when
you get me started.
Thanks so much to everyone here because you have all helped with
terrific information. You all are truely wonderful people.
