mixed or misunderstood signals from the brain to the body functions due to the
nerve damage
John,
I understand that. But,the lesion being thoracic (chest) means I should only
be affected below that level-not anywhere above it. The numbness is still from
that level (T4) down,with a few areas of extreme sensitivity scattered
around.That's what confused them and me about the sweating.
15 yrs later and still no explanation.

mixed or misunderstood signals from the brain to the body functions due to the

kinda odd ,,,,when i flew to fort knox KY i had to fly to PA to catch that
flight.
if i had missed the PA connection i would not have made it to fort knox.
i think the brain works the same way. if theres a connection problem anywhere
then it will send signals or block signals trying to resolve the problem and if
it cant then it does all kinds of wierd stuff.
sometimes i wish mine would stop trying and just turn the lights out and go to
sleep but that would be a stroke ,,thats a bad thought.
if the Docs understood and could manipulate these things they would make way
more than they do.

Hi Everyone,
I got tm at the thoracic level (T4-5),but when I perspire on my face,one
side gets red and moist,the other stays pale and dry. No one has ever had an
explanation for this.A couple of docs even suggested that maybe I always had
this and just noticed it after tm!
