My TM started in September 2010 with numbness in my feet. I thought I had sat wrong and they had just fallen asleep. By the next day the numbness had moved up to my waist and I lost bladder control. The following day I was numb up to my arm pits and having issues with my breathing. I had severe numbness in my hands and mid-section. I never experienced any pain, just deep numbness. My lesions are at C2 & C3.

Then left leg. I still cannot lift my left leg. No banding ever BERNARD BUTCHER Honeywell Engineering 516-577-5868 From: Janice Nichols [mailto:jannic...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2013 10:39 AM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com<mailto:tmic-list@eskimo.com> Subject: [TMIC] Hello! When I have read the stories of how TM first attacked you all, some/many have said that you had a severe pain around the middle of your body – banding. And for some, it has stayed with you. I would like a response from all of you as to whether or not your TM started with the severe pain or not. Also, is it still with you today or did it get better with time/meds. I would like to be able to give my doc some kind of percentage of how TM has hit myself and others. Would really appreciate responses.
