    This is honestly one of the best things that has happened to me on my TM journey. While you're better off than me (being able to walk/move without crutches/wheelchair) everything else was so relatable and I really needed to hear this and relate to somebody. I'm gonna pay even more attention to my diet. One thing I guess may be unique to me is bladder pain if I don't drink a lot of water. First thing in the morning and all through the day, otherwise the burning is unbearable.

    Thank you for sharing. I am so glad you are so honest. I have experienced all of these same issues with bowel and bladder. The numbness is crazy for sure. And each day is definitely different.

    Your determination to take care of yourself and your family with a positive mindset is very encouraging! I don’t have many noticeable residual effects from my TM, and I honestly don’t take care of myself as well as I should. Your story reminds me of the Apostle Paul, because in a very real way, you’re finding your strength because of your weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:10)

    Your vulnerability is the encouragement others are receiving.

      Thank you. Have your tired strengthening you core like pelvic floor exercises? That helped and continues to help me with bowel and bladder. In regards to frozen feet it comes and goes. It mainly my right foot that feels frozen some times

    Did you have urinary retention initially? How long did it take for you to start walking from the day you got TM? Thanks

    • @theadaptivefamily

      Thank you for your comment
      1. I do have unirinary retention which is why I make sure I drink plenty of water to make sure it being filtered through.
      2. From contracting the disease to taking my first un assisted step was about 4 weeks

      @@theadaptivefamily I just got diagnosed with TM about a month ago and originally I had lost most of my mobility in my legs and they were very numb. But a month out now and I’m able to walk unassisted for short distances. Im looking forward to the recovery the next few months bring me. Unfortunately I’m still have to intermittent catheterize because I have urine retention. I’m hopeful my bladder will start working on its own again. Did you have to catheterize initially as well? Thank you for sharing your story btw, it got me through the first two brutal weeks. Your an angel!

    • @theadaptivefamily

      Thank you for the kind words
      Yes I did begin catheterization when we I was discharged. Once my bladder got stronger I slowly pulled away from the frequency of using the catheter.
      My bladder strength came through specifi abdominal exercises

      Great video, amazing advice, dope community you’re building.
      I found lymphatic massage to be my effective route to bladder/bowel function. It’s rare to find someone capable, and it’s a vulnerable experience. But that turned my condition around quickly (at least as far as those symptoms, which can be some of the more annoying issues). Best of luck to you both, thanks for sharing ❤
