Can we talk about being paralyzed and just being unable to move? My friend cannot move her legs, cannot roll over in bed, cannot hold the phone or use her hands to type, etc, but she is not paralyzed -- if you touch her or stick a pin in her she can feel it. How do you differentiate thes conditions? ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 7:57 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] Health question
You know, I have new symptoms as well and worry about them greatly, but I believe that so little is known about paraplegism that most Dr.'s and even Neuro's don't know how to deal with them. I have been calling my doctor since last week for an answer and the answer is always the same, "Doctor has not come to a conclusion yet. We are waiting for the lab work to come back." I've not heard of this "butterfly" symptom in the four years I have been on the List, and yet here it is, mentioned twice in one set of emails. I wonder if there is anything new going on in the world. Is there anyone out there who is already paralyzed who feels like they are being paralyzed all over again beginning at the toes and traveling all the way up to the original ending spot? My original site stopped at T3 and fortunately did not affect my arms except for some slight tremor, but this time it feels like my arms are going to be paralyzed too. Please email me or the list if you have been through this. Bless Us All, Jude ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
