Rob, I know I've only had this 3 years and have different symptoms here and there quite often but the rest doesn't seem to change. I always have the burning/freezing plus the pins and needles, worse on the left but have had it from the start. I just keep on with my water therapy and soon a walking regime. Whenever things got really bad compared to the everyday symptoms I too was afraid that it was a relapse but realized it was usually following working out too hard, traveling where I sat too long, or let myself get too tired.
I think your idea of asking Dr. Kerr is a good one. Good news!!! I've been noticing a change where I can feel temperature on my skin on the left side which is the one that has never been able to feel temps! I felt a cool sensation when I was taking off my clothes and then felt the warmth of the shower! I could even feel it on my old butt and thigh!! It still feels numb inside but this is a REAL change! I would do cartwheels if I could!! Jeanne in Dayton -------Original Message------- From: Robert Pall Date: 3/31/2008 8:10:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [TMIC] queston Need a little help! After more than 10 years I started having new symptoms in my left (the good one) leg. My left leg has always had pins & needles but this weekend I had the burning (freezing) sensation and although it has not gotten worse..it has not gone back to what I call normal. I have e mailed Dr. Kerr and hopefully he will supply some in sight. I also want to thank members on the list who have given me names of Nerros in New Jersey that they use and are happy with I will contact at least one of them. In all honesty I am somewhat afraid! I thought I have been dealing with TM in as positive way as is possible. I just don't know if I could handle another episode especially if It requires hospitalization. I know all of us do not have one day that is exactly the same as the previous one but have any of you experienced new feelings (good or bad) that was not a result of a relapse? If this continues I doubt if I can continue working as the discomfort does not allow me to concentrate on my work. I can only focus on the new feeling of burning! Thank you for any insight you can provide. Rob in New Jersey
