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. cheryl --- On Wed, 11/10/10, john snodgrass <jcs...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: john snodgrass <jcs...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [TMIC] {TMIC}sweating To: "transverse myelitis" <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2010, 10:10 AM mixed or misunderstood signals from the brain to the body functions due to the nerve damage. 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. --- On Wed, 11/10/10, rn11...@yahoo.com <rn11...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: rn11...@yahoo.com <rn11...@yahoo.com> Subject: [TMIC] {TMIC}sweating To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Date: Wednesday, November 10, 2010, 9:30 AM 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! Cheryl in Easthampton,MA
