WOW!!! Some how knowing you, I am not surprised to see this
happening to you. You are a go-getter! This is really
exciting to hear. I can really believe it because after 5 years
with
TM, I have never been as strong as I am now. Even family and
friends notice when I walk. I don’t have much faith in the “2-
years with TM is as good as it gets” theory. I have shown
fairly steady improvement. I may have peaked now, but I can live
with it. It just won’t stop me from trying more and more though.
You have been through so much, I am thrilled for you - pain or no
pain.

Hello my friends,
On 8/13 I will have my 17th anniversary of having tm. I have been
numb from T4 to toes since that time, except for a small area on my
left thigh.
On the 3rd of July,my cat ran toward me to jump into my lap. She
missed, and in the process gave me 2 fairly deep scratches in my
lower left leg.
After being numb for all this time, I felt the pain of the
scratches,and I can actually tell what is touching my entire left
leg! I am amazed at this. It is something I never expected.
I have an ulcer on the bottom of my right heel,and went to a
wound clinic; doc ordered VNA for dressing changes. After being
evaluated by nurse, she had PT and OT see me.I don't know if this
is related or not.
I never thought I'd be happy to have pain!
I hope you are all doing well.
Cheryl
