Hi Janice, Water temperature are very hard to tell all the time. I always but my shower at it's hottest to warm up my shower chair, then lower the temp with my hands telling me the temperature of the water. I'm able to run very warm water over both legs when they are cold. But please be very careful. Pin & Needles Pain are full time too. They can start out really bad in the beginning, then get better, and as you get NEW feeling, they can get worst again. You could ask your doctor to up & lower the dosage of your Pain Meds, Neurontine/Lyrica. I'm on 300 mg Lyrica a day. Hope this helps, Todd in Corpus Christi, TX TM since April 1, 2002 @ T-4 to T-8

It has been 2 years since the onset of TM. From the top of my ribs to my toes I can not tell water temperature on my skin. I have to be very careful with taking my showers. Do any of you have that? I am wondering if it is something that will eventually go away or if it is something I will live with. Also, one improvement I have just noticed lately is the constant "buzzing" that I had in my legs as soon as feeling started coming back. Did you all have that and have any of you also lost it? Thanks again, Janice
