Ruben,
My advice to anyone that develops something new like that is to see your
neurologist as soon as possible.
Good luck, Janice

Subject: [TMIC] Question
Hey everyone,
I have another question. I am going on week 8 of being diagnosed with
TM. I am able to walk and use my legs, although my left leg seems to
be impacted the most. It is very weak, and I have a tedancy to lose my
balace sometimes. I can usually walk without a cane, but I typically
use one just to be safe. I started PT this week, which involves a lot
of leg exercises, using my ab lounger to strenghten my core, pushups
against a wall to strengthen my upper body, and riding a stationary
bike for 15 minutes. I do this every day and can tell a big difference
in the strength of my left leg. Although my question is on something
totaly different. My TM hit the conus of my spinal cord around T12-
L1. Which is the area of the spinal cord that controls all functions
of the lower part of the body. I slept last night on my right side
and woke up this morning and I can't feel half of my left hand. Has
this happened to anyone else before, or have some suggestions on what
may have caused this. Especially since my TM has not affected my upper
body at all to this point. Thanks.
