Hello,
Following our recent discussion, I think I could report one thing to
you. I moved from New Zealand to Fiji in June 2011 as I got a new job
here. Within three days of arrival in Fiji, the 'pins and needles'
sensations across my belly disappeared and receded to mid thigh. I had
had TM since Oct 2010. This may be the full extent of my recovery, though.
Some people say TM can exacerbate under heat. But my GP back in New
Zealand, who operates on an 'integrative medicine' paradigm, commented
that if the ambient temperature is too low, the energy gets chewed up
thinking about coping with the cold. Certainly his comment rings true to
me. TM has accentuated my aversion to winter. I lived in Christchurch,
NZ, shaking since September 2009. Cold and damp winter. Unlike North
America, central heating is unheard of. The 'stiff upper lip' mentality
is encouraged to endure the poor heating apparatus and appalling housing.
Any thoughts on TM and ambient temperature?
Ryota
