Hello Janice!
I too had the hot/cold sensitivity you speak of. I actually gave myself a 2nd degree burn without realizing. The sense of hot and cold has returned for me and did so after about a year. What I find now is that I cannot handle really hot showers and sometimes have issues with hot tubs. The hot water makes my skin tingle and makes me feel nauseous. As to the "buzzing", I think I also know what you mean but many may call it something else. My Neuro told me that what I was feeling was my nerves firing. It made sense. Mine diminished after a few years but my body still tingles when I push things. It's my body's way of letting me know that it has had enough. My concern is that I have lived with the symptoms of TM for coming up 8 years that I believe I have gotten used to all the things it throws at you. I do not know what normal is anymore. Maybe that is a good thing? That way I don't know what I am missing!

It has been 2 years since the onset of TM. From the top of my ribs to my toes I can not tell water temperature on my skin. I have to be very careful with taking my showers. Do any of you have that? I am wondering if it is something that will eventually go away or if it is something I will live with. Also, one improvement I have just noticed lately is the constant "buzzing" that I had in my legs as soon as feeling started coming back. Did you all have that and have any of you also lost it? Thanks again, Janice
