> I was more or less told I had TM year and ahalf ago. Doctors just dont seem to commit themselves as to diagnosis. I take neurontin for my TM. I am also blessed with Rhumatoid Arthitis and Restless leg syndrom. I have been on Predisone for many years for my RA but am gradually getting that down to a small amount. My neurologest talked with me about iterferon-beta and also gave me a VCR to watch on the stuff. It has to many side effects or me and he also rejected it for the same reason. I find that when my TM starts acting up that a zanac (tranquilizer) a neurontin helps more then any thing. I feel that finding what helps you the best is the best. I get a feeling of heavy legs and swollen, even if I know they are not. Does anyoe else have that feeling? I am a retired R.N. so the Doc lets me do what I want He told me not to count on getting well in days weeks but in years
