Re: [TMIC] Improvements

[Heather & Pieter]

Hi there,   It was me that was told by my doc that there wouldn't be major improvements after a couple of years.  I know there have been a lot of others on this site who have told me otherwise.  I'm so glad to know there is still some improvement after a number of years.  I had asked him that question as I wanted to know what he thought as the specialist.  I do agree with the rest of you though that improvements however small surprise us all.  I told him at the visit that I wiggle my toes on my left foot (the one that feels no hot or cold) and I can actually tell that I am wiggling them.  Also I touched the bottom of that same foot while drying them one day and realized that there is a patch there that feels 'normal'.  I don't know if I had just never felt that before or if it was something new.  There is always hope for which I am thankful.   Heather in Calgary ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan Hargrove To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; tmic-list Sent: Saturday, November 05, 2005 8:04 AM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Improvements I'm with you, Barbara............all of a sudden, something that hasn't registered for 9 years happens and the shock is amazing............like, did I really feel that!??!  janh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Someone mentioned being told they wouldn't have major improvements after a couple of years. I "met" TM personally 10 years ago, and since that time have not been able to feel cold or pain in my right foot (there are myriad other residual symptoms, just mentioning this one right now). I can feel touch, pressure, tingling there. But the other day I accidentally stepped on a small piece of ice and it registered as COLD! I actually had to look at my feet and think, "Wait a minute....is it this foot or the other one?" LOL!   Barbara H. No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
