Susan in South Africa,
Interesting? I saw the original author's question and the replies.
I had pain in my belly button which proceeded into my back, (like a belt being
pulled tighter) and when doctor saw me on the Friday he said there was a bout
of shingles going around. He did look for a rash on my lower back but none.
But wrote it down to shingles.
The Sunday following I became paralysed with the diagnoses TM.
Makes me wonder? Is everything you read true? Is TM onset of MS, is it is post
set of shingles? Can everything really matter what you read on the net? How
come 4 years later and I am still recovering? .....
I am busy writing a letter to the list for all to read. Just a little busy
right now doing other stuff but please look out for my mail in your letterbox.
And by the way, when I woke up the morning the sky was beautiful. It rain here
in Durban South Africa and everyone was in a twizzy getting ready for the day.
I thanked God I am alive.
I plan to live my life to the fullest
God bless you all
Susan

I can't speak for the others, Patti, but the tingling in my legs that
started the TM was much, much different than shingles. It wasn't painful at
all, just noticeable. Then when the pain started at the groin area and
proceeded into my back, there just weren't too many words to describe how
painful that was. My daughter had to tell me to breathe because just the
motion of breathing made it worse.
The shingles pain was more like a 'burn' pain. I've had patients that
had it so bad that just the touch of their clothing would bring tears to their
eyes. j

Well, the subject line says it all! I noticed a few had shingles
before TM and I wonder if the tingling, burning feels the same? I've heard
some horrid stories about shingles.
