My symptoms came on over a 6 week period.  Started with numbness in hands & feet, moved to arms & legs, then to trunk & chest with banding below my shoulder & thankfully stopped there. Took about 6 months for all this to level out & now left with numbness esp. in hands and feet, fatigue with anything I do, & poor balance.  My main problem now is increasing tremors in my right hand & now some in lower jaw (have never heard anyone mention this), but my neuro thinks it is normal.

Mine came on gradually also.  I thought it was Cauda Equina Syndrome again like my dr. said the first time 2 yrs ago....

I think mine came on gradually - when I thin back to what happened before I went totally numb, tingly and lame on my left side, there were some instances where I think it may have been my spinal condition: walking wobbly, bumping into things, spilling coffee , klutzy kinda things.

I notice that every thing refers to acute TM.  Has anybody in the group had TM that has come on gradually.  Everyone should read the link that Frank sent about GP's.  There I guess is nothing we can do about this but we certainly should be informed.  At a hospital here in Virginia who employs physicians unless they see patients in an allotted time the physician is asked to leave.  Am afraid that this is becoming the norm and is certainly a poor way to practice good medicine.
