Hello everybody. When "House" did that episode on the
young man with TM, his first symptom was severe electric shocks, so bad that
they knocked him over. For my friend, the very first symptom she had was
an itching under the skin. When she would rub it, it would move somewhere
else. She said it was almost like ants under the skin sometimes, and it
drove her crazy. She saw several doctors, and nobody had a clue what it
was. It wasn't until her leg was almost paralyzed one morning when she
woke up did they know it was more serious. Did any of you have this
itching under the skin? Or what were your very first
symptoms?
Have a good weekend -- I pray for you all everyday

take care - Michelle

For me, I would call the tingling-vibration thing and the "electrical
shock" thing different things. I used to get the horrible shock
feeling in my arms, sometimes in my feet. I play the flute. I
couldn't play for a while after TM, but when I started practicing again and
getting my strength back up, I would get the "electrical shocks"
shooting down my arms. For me it was very painful. I can't stand
it. It only happens every once in a while now. As for
the tingling/vibrations, I still have that constantly in my feet and hands and
sometimes everywhere. It doesn't hurt, more annoying than anything
else. I've learned to live with it. Now, for the pain, I wish I
could learn to live with that. It's so exhausting. I take
100mg ultram twice a day, to cut the edge off. That's the only thing
that works for me.

Vibrations
I used to tell people that it was like holding on
to a low voltage electric fence. I once touched an electric fence as a
kid. Although the tingling/vibrations aren't as strong, that was the
only way I could think of to explain it. - Roger in Kennewick,

Pam,
The vibration feeling is like someone hit your spine and nerves all the
way down with a tuning fork. YOU FEEL IT EVERYWHERE. Almost like
a little electrical shock in a way. I would feel it with every step I
took and God forbid if someone patted me on the back...It was hard to
smile. It doesn't hurt but it's such a weird sensation. Maybe
not everyone gets that feeling?
