Thanks Amanda. I am always in a quandary about what to do in situations like
this. I don't want to go to the hospital. Stupid, huh?
I'm sorry you have TM. How are you doing now?

definitely be afraid it was a tm attack. i would go see my neuro and see if he
could find out what is going on. i really hope u get feeling better and it is
not a tm attack. good luck

Hi everyone:
Some of you may remember me and most won't. I had a TM attack in 1997 and
found this group. I rejoined several years ago and after a few months forgot
how to get into the group! lol So now I've subscribed once again.
I have never been without symptoms since the TM attack in 97. In that attack in
just a few hours I became numb on the left side from just below the breast to
my toes. It was like a line had been drawn down the middle of me and
everything was totally
numb on the left from that level down. I lost bladder control, too.
I was later dxed with MS in 1998. Among other symptoms, I have been numb since
the TM attack in different parts of my body and I have never been without some
degree of numbness.
For the past 3 weeks I've been abnormally numb. It is very much like the TM
attack in 97 except I haven't lost bladder control and this time the severe
numbness is on the right side. It started under my right breast, moving under
my arm, around my back.... Now the numbness is all the way to my toes, except
part of my
hip.
I did call my neuro and he asked if I thought I was in the middle of a MS
flare. At the time I said no because I feel fine. Now I'm wondering if I made
a mistake. Could this be a TM thing? What do you all think?
glad to be back....
