Mindy, I can certainly consider my sensation Central Neuropathy Syndrome. I am sensitive to hot and cold, and also to touch. The weather and my stress level plays a huge part in my pain management. I understand what you mean about throwing yourself off a cliff. I also take Lyrica and Cymbalta, along with Fentanal patch and Vicodin and most times the pain is still intolerable. Yes, although I am a C4 incomplete, I do have a little movement on my left side. My left leg is pretty strong, but has compromised sensation. I can move my left arm a little, but it's still difficult to impossible to do my ADLs, feed myself, or do the things that are necessary for daily living.
