that is rather confusing..... then again so is TM i believe,,,now it's just my openion,that the information they give us that they feel is concrete is information that is common to many. more than likely there are exceptions to every case

I sleep with long johns and socks. Pretty picture, huh? I will wake up sweating on my face and turn on my ceiling fan, then I get cold and turn off the ceiling fan and this continues through out the night. Good thing I only sleep with pillows. And thank God I have a remote controlled ceiling fan so I don't need to get out of bed. I also have the on and off sweating during the day and way past the "change".

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
