Joe
I'm betting even a hug wouldn't feel good now.
Joe, my TM was probably no worse then yours, except that it went higher up the second time. Mine too was the "MS-kind", from C and T spinal lesions.
I know how hard this is, and how difficult even trying to concentrate on written word will be right now. I won't keep you reading . . . but want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope the steroids help too. Feel free to PM me if there is anything you would rather not share publically.
Cherie
