Hi Rebecca, thank you. I am really disappointed with Kaiser's decision. They even said the new nuero who saw him for 5-10 min for 1 time felt like he had a stroke and no TM. I beg to differ. He had too many tests and saw too many specialists as opposed to his "johnny come lately" diagnosis. Also all I have read and this site with all of you TMers he, I am sorry to say fits in with the symptoms and complaints he has. Dee

Art is 80 and has a TM diagnosis for about 3 years. We have Kaiser coverage. He was denied.

[ sal r <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] I can walk in my house because I feel very secure and know where the handrails are or grab a chair. And I use a cane when I go out with friends. They always take my arm. I cannot walk in the “dark”. I must see my legs in order to put them in the right place. I must sit down to pull my sweaters over my head. At any given time I have no idea where my legs are, sometimes while lying in bed I could swear they’re moving… and I look down and there they are exactly where I left them! I did not begin walking with a walker till three months after TM hit. I am also one of those eternal “sappy” optimists. Believe!

Hi Trudy, I stilll have that annoying problem of not being quite sure where my legs are. Sometimes I wake up and think that they are all bent up at odd angles, or maybe that I have one tucked up under me or something, but whenever I throw back the covers and look, they're right where I left them. Isn't it just the oddest feeling? Kind of like *My legs! My legs! Where in the world did I put my legs?* I've gotta laugh though, after all, it is just a little funny. :-) Grace Hi Trudy, I stilll have that annoying problem of not being quite sure where my legs are.

I too cannot tell how my feet are under the blanket. Sometimes I try to move them and cannot because they are crossed and I had no idea! If I wake up and it is dark I will trip under anything in my way....my wife knows to keep the area between the bed and the bathroom clear. This condition certainly is a "trip" .
