HI
I've been reading the experiences about the set backs and flare ups
I am a bit confussed my moms dr. said that a relapse is very unlikely
I cant let my mom read this. I think she will get more depressed.
She has TM since May 8 97.
She was paralized from the waist down. Bladder and bowl didn't work for 2
months.Just started to improve no more self cat and walks with cane(short
distances) .
Does anyone have info on a drug not sure of name something like Balcfom.

Please write me back I need help dealing with this and need help on how to
help her.

Does anyone need to take anti depressants I think she may need them

Thank you
Angela
