Yes I beleive there is a connection and if you havn't all ready, there
are others, on this thread and check out.

And spasms can be painful if you have the nerves to feel the pain with.
The conparison is relevant. Bladder spasms can also be painful, they to
are relevant to the amount of nerve inpairment. And YES there are
complete recoveries from tm. I've spent the past twenty minutes looking
for a post in the tm thread that I responded to. Concerning a grandchild
who contracted tm. I'm sorry I couldn't find it in my file, but it
should be in the tm archives at
http://www.eskimo.com/~jlubin/disabled/tmic/index.html#87 The last I
heard from the grandparents about there grandchild was of good news,
about her recovery. May God bless your child and you too. DCJones{Dave}
