My daughter, at the onset in 2005, had no reflexes in her knees or her ankles (I didn't even know that we had reflexes in our ankles). I think that is one of the reasons that they also threw Guillain Barre Syndrome into the Dx for her. They told us that she must have both b/c she had symptoms from both. When we saw Dr. Kerr in August, 2005, he agreed with that Dx b/c that was the only explanation. He said that in his 7 years (at that time) working with TM, he only had about 50-70 patients that had both TM and GBS but several hundred of those with just TM. Just my personal input. Have a great day!

I'm seeing a new neurologist today to try and find out why my hands are getting numb and stiff. The last neurologist I went to, said I can't have TM because I have no reflexes in my legs. I think this is bogus reasoning. I am just wondering how many here have little to no reflexes in your legs. (when they hit your knee w/hammer and leg doesn't jerk) I know some are hyper-reflexive, leg will shoot out, but mine doesn't move. (I am walking wounded btw) I tried asking Dr. Kerr about TM and reflexes, but never heard back. If anyone has his ear, would you mind asking him? Thanks, Kevin
