Lynn,
This is one of the oddest things I've noticed with my own symptoms.
My feet are numb to the touch, I can't tell what direction my big
toe is pointing when the neurologist moves it up or down, yet, if
I stub my toe it is like I put my foot in a light socket, and I have
to catch my breath. In fact just tonight I was walking in bare feet
and must have stepped on some tiny raised object that made me
limp. Numbness and hypersensitivity at the same time. Weird.

I have "had" tm since 1992. I have had flare ups but do get somewhat
better each time. But I can't say I am in lots of pain. And don't
notice lots of increase in pain. Now that i am on the lyrica the pain
in my legs is not too bad. I do get feelings of cold or burning
sometimes but it is not unbearable. Also I find it strange that if I
stub my toe or bump into something my legs overeact. I get spasms in
my leg and it is like I am really injured but it only last a couple of
minutes. I know if i have bumped my toe or foot to hold on to
something for a few minutes.

Perhaps the question should be:
Are there any of us who have NOT had an increase in symptoms??
