Jan, Have you gained complete control of your legs - no cane and good balance? I am right with you on the lack of temperature control and I hate it!

Cheryl, I was a complete to the t8, paralyzed from breast down. I've since regained use of legs....the only thing I was told that wouldn't return was my temp control and by golly, that doc was right. Thus, when I go out in summer heat I sweat! only from breast up......I can't stay out in heat like I could before tm, heat stroke is possible. Ain't life grand!??! But, hey, you do what you can and let the rest go!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TIAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! janh Stillwater, OK --- On Fri, 6/12/09, rn11...@yahoo.com <rn11...@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi, #1 Any extreme heat or cold affects me adversely.Plus,I only perspire on the right side of my face.This is since tm,but my lesion was T4-T5,so my neuro has no explanation for it. #2 My tight band is around my mid trunk area.It is there all the time.When I overdo anything it gets much tighter and very uncomfortable.
