my first epsoide came on fast, a banding around my
back and numbness and tingling, i did not do anything about it. did not
know what was happening and i am used to suffering through things. the
second time it came back gradually, tingling, numbness, dropping things, it was
not as bad as the first time, i had to wear gloves at work cuz i could not touch
paper or anything. i lived with friends for about a year to help me dress
and wash my hair but i kept working, the second time i had IV pred and i
think it stopped the progression i wish i knew about it the first time, now i
have devics but it is not progressing. i am very lucky to be working and
walking. prayer and love

My symptoms came on over a 6 week period. Started with
numbness in hands & feet, moved to arms & legs, then to trunk &
chest with banding below my shoulder & thankfully stopped there. Took
about 6 months for all this to level out & now left with numbness esp. in
hands and feet, fatigue with anything I do, & poor balance. My main
problem now is increasing tremors in my right hand & now some in lower jaw
(have never heard anyone mention this), but my neuro thinks it is
normal.

came on gradually also. I thought it was Cauda Equina Syndrome again
like my dr. said the first time 2 yrs ago....

numb, tingly and lame on my left side, there were some instances
where I think it may have been my spinal condition: walking wobbly,
bumping into things, spilling coffee , klutzy kinda things.

I notice that every thing refers to acute TM. Has anybody in
the group had TM that has come on gradually. Everyone should read
the link that Frank sent about GP's. There I guess is nothing we can
do about this but we certainly should be informed. At a hospital
here in Virginia who employs physicians unless they see patients in an
allotted time the physician is asked to leave. Am afraid that this
is becoming the norm and is certainly a poor way to practice good
medicine.
