Hi, Krissy...I'm not a doctor nor have the answers only to let you know that I, too, have times when I feel like there are relapses. They are usually when I am extra tired, sat too long, or have done too much. After a good rest, it always seems to be better. It is scary to think we are having a relapse. It's so sad that the health care costs are where we cannot afford to get the help when we need it, if only for peace of mind.
I also wanted you to know that my TM anniversary was yesterday!!! Please take care and know our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I swear it feels like I am getting worse......my right leg the past 2 or 3 days has been numb and feeling *asleep* , just like the very first day 3 years ago. My *anniversary* of getting this autoimmune disorder was yesterday.....3 years now....my leg started to feel *numb* at the foot and has progressed to right below my knee. My other foot also feels a little numb, but not too bad. I am scared. I know if I call the neuro, he will order mri's. (of which I cannot afford right now....our insurance has a huge deductible and we would almost end up paying the whole thing....which would be $3000-$4000! )...I know sometimes you can have recurrences with TM...I guess I just didnt expert it. I'm afraid to call neuro. I'm afraid of results. I HOPE its just the weather...but I somehow I dont think so. It's not affecting my walking it just feels asleep and sorta numb.
