Re: [TMIC] relapse?

[Gerry Surette]

I know how you feel; I have experienced the similar symptoms.' Here is what 
I do  AS painful as it is I force myself to walk at least 15 to 30 minuties 
a day. Every stept is agnoizing believe me. but I find at the end I have a 
somewhat relief.  at nightime I experince painful spasms. But I know that if 
I experience pain at least I am alive. Force yourself to walk as painful as 
each step may be ; I was . told if not you will stop walking altogether

I have had episodes of numbness getting worse to wear I  thought I was 
about
to have a relapse, but it never got as bad as the  original onset.It just
flared up from time to time. Often being tired or not  getting enough sleep 
had a
lot to do with it, but sometimes it just happened for  a while and then 
went
back down after a few hours or days.

I swear it feels like I am getting worse......my right  leg the past 2 or 3
days has been numb and feeling *asleep* , just like the  very first day 3 
years
ago. My *anniversary* of getting this autoimmune  disorder was
yesterday.....3 years now....my leg started to feel *numb* at the  foot and 
has progressed
to right below my knee. My other foot also feels a  little numb, but not 
too
bad. I am scared. I know if I call the neuro, he will  order mri's. (of 
which I
cannot afford right now....our insurance has a huge  deductible and we 
would
almost end up paying the whole thing....which would be  $3000-$4000! )...I 
know
sometimes you can have recurrences with TM...I guess I  just didnt expert 
it.
I'm afraid to call neuro.  I'm afraid of  results. I HOPE its just the
weather...but I somehow I dont think  so.
It's  not affecting my walking it just feels asleep and sorta  numb.
