Feeling scared...

I am worried that I may be having another TM attack. Do people have repeated
attacks?

I have been doing very, very well. The numbness has been GONE for over a
month! In fact, I have felt better during the past month than I have in a
year. I even went to the airport last week. You all know what an
accomplishment it is to be able to do all that walking!!!

Now this evening the numbness is coming back. It started (like before) in my
belly/groin area on my left side. It has spread around into my back and I
now have numbness in my leg. My foot on that side is tingling and very cold.
The other foot is also starting to tingle and feels cold. I have been
working lots of overtime at work for the past two weeks (even worked 7 hours
on Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday) and I know I am very tired. Maybe I am
feeling like this because of being tired?? If it gets worse I guess I will
have to call the neurologist tomorrow. I hate to feel like I am being an
alarmist though.

I just had to talk to people who would understand how I feel. My family is
concerned, but they don't understand the fear.....
