Bill, you should mention this to your doctor. Some PT may help you. ShirleyMS-Bill wrote: I was wondering have any of you ever gone through therapy for your MS and what was it for?

Bowel trouble is a hard one, so to speak. Sorry, don't mean to make light of it but we must laugh for our sanity, don't you think? Where are your lesions, Bill? A lot of people with Transverse Myelitis have a very difficult time with bowel 'evacuation' because of the muscles not working any longer. It might help you to join the Transverse Myelitis group online. They are a great group and you can ask absolutely anything and get a good answer. I was first dxed with Transverse Myelitis and that group was my salvation. They were wonderful. When I've had MS stuff happen that others here don't have an answer for I have turned back to the TMIC (Transverse Myelitis Internet Club). Sharon therapy for your MS?

therapy for your MS?

I was wondering have any of you ever gone through therapy for your MS and what

was it for?

Also did it help you out?

My new PCP put me on that and it works but too well for me. My biggest trouble

is I can't get the bowl to move well through my body. Getting a bowl movement

out is like trying to get out the last amount of toothpaste out of the

toothpaste holder. That is the part I am hoping doing some kind of work out in

that area might help.

That wreck was a great way to start the race season. I would love to go watch

the Nascar race here at the Brickyard but the heat would be terrible for me.

Judy and I always tried to make it for Pole day at the Indianapolis 500.

If you ever watch the truck races Sutton has MS. Here is some info from

here web page. She must be able to tolerate heat very well. I know I would not

be able to survive a 1\2 hour.
