thanks Dalton
I hate it that so many of us are in so much pain however it is a little
comforting on the mind to be reminded that we are not alone and someone else
knows what we feel like.
pain is pain,,,,,dont matter who ya are.
be safe my friend.

Hi;
Thanks for your support.
I got another attack today. It started slowly with pain in my feet and hands
yesterday, which became weaker by the hour. Then it slowly worked itself up
the legs and arms today, weakening me as it went. Then it hit my lower and
upper back, and I could no longer stand up, and am now unable to walk without
the aid of crutches, and only for a few yards.
When it got really bad today, I was unable to speak more than a few words
without causing convulsions in my back and arms. After a while I could speak
again. I had to be careful with the swallowing which was no longer on
automatic. Same with urinating. It took great concentration to sort of
identify the nerves and wake them up.
There were moments when I could not feel my legs and didn't know if I could
move them. Again, it took concentration to wake the nerves up and get the legs
moving again. The pain in the legs and arms and back is terrific and nothing
touches it.
My neurologist has told me that there are, of course, stronger medications
which can mostly arrest this cycling and give me some peace. But also, of
course, they would make me a zombie for most of the day and I would likely
become unable to work any longer.
I am happy to be able to type again. It is five minutes before eleven pm and I
can finally work my hands a little, for typing, making coffee, and getting some
snacks from the fridge.
Well, I wrote all this because some have been saying that it is vey quiet. So
here's a raft of symptoms to look at.
Thanks so much, friends, for being here.

Dalton, no, but I do have cycles of feeling okay and then feeling more
discomfort from nerve pain and spasms. Can’t believe the doc’s can’t get
you under control
better than that. How about going to one of the best known hospitals –
especially those fairly familiar with TM? Or, maybe you have. All it
takes is one
doctor who can understand what is going on with you – hopefully. I realize
you are also trying to hold down a job and you have the pressure from that to
always be there, but I just can’t believe there isn’t some way this can be
controlled. I wish you the best.

So;
I can report that I have about a 5-day period wherein I am mostly free of
severe difficulties, able to walk with a cane and to work for about 6 hours of
the day. After this interlude, I have two or three days of extreme weakness
and convulsions limiting me to the big Morris chair or to bed.
That has been my cycle for about three months now. It will be one year since
my first violent attack of convulsions of 23 April 2010.
Anyone else have this kind of almost weekly cycling of symptoms?
Thanks,
Dalton
