Dear Carolyn; I think the Docs are afaid to tell us what we have in
that we all fall apart. If you are like me, I want to know, so I can
plan my future. Maybe some of your headaces are causes from stree. Do
you drink coffee? That helps to dilae the capillaries. Dark-glasses
when exposted to light. I don,t think TM traveles like MS, again ask
your Doc to explain the difference, Thats what you pay him for. I have
gotten to the point of sending a Fax him the week before with all my
questions, so he has time to answer when I get to see him.
