I can't speak for the others, Patti, but the tingling in my legs that started the TM was much, much different than shingles. It wasn't painful at all, just noticeable. Then when the pain started at the groin area and proceeded into my back, there just weren't too many words to describe how painful that was. My daughter had to tell me to breathe because just the motion of breathing made it worse.
The shingles pain was more like a 'burn' pain. I've had patients that had it so bad that just the touch of their clothing would bring tears to their eyes. j -------Original Message------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 4/20/2008 8:35:01 PM To: tmic-list-at-eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] How does TM Compare to Shingles Pain Well, the subject line says it all! I noticed a few had shingles before TM and I wonder if the tingling, burning feels the same? I've heard some horrid stories about shingles. Patti - Michigan
