Kevin,
It is so true and I am glad I am not the only one. People think I am over
reacting to a small pain. But I can't help it. It does make me catch my
breath and stop and wait for the spasms to pass.

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.

I'm also interested in Heather's question: how many people w/TM more>

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