Hi, Cheryl! We were reading your note where it starts "I have numbness" and it's verbatim to what I have now. Exactly!! We were so stunned and even to the banding. It has really been a problem all along especially trying to find a bra that doesn't aggravate it.
Jack is always commenting on the difference in the temperature between my two legs which has been since the onset, May, 2005. Our lives as TM'ers is sure interesting! Thank you so much for sharing!

I was paralyzed from T4 down ,and after rehab used a wheelchair and then a walker.Then I used a cane for a while,but now I'm back to the walker. I have numbness from T4 down,except for a few areas of hypersensitivity on my left leg.Strong banding around my trunk since the day of onset Tingling and burning pain remain a constant.One leg feels any temperature touching it as icy cold,the other as burning hot. I only perspire on the right side of my face.Why,when my lesion was T4-T5?Nobody knows. I look back,and it seems like it hasn't been that long,yet in other ways it seems like forever. There is life after tm,just a totally different one. Cheryl in sunny Easthampton,MA.
