I have never been told what this, was until today!!!

I first got this symtom when I noticed the numbness and tingling in my fingers
and toes a little over a year ago. Before I got to the Dr's, I got a terrilbe
shock when I bent my head down. It went from just below my skull into my full
body to my toes and if I was sitting, it almost made me fall out of my chair.
If I was standing, I would wobble and almost fall down.

I learnd today from you kind friends, that this is called "L'hermitts Sign".
What a way to learn about symtoms! My Dr's did not even tell me what it was,
only that it was a symtom of Tm. I'm much better now with only a small amount
of shock when I bend my head down.

When I told the Dr. this was happening, he had nothing to say but that it was
a symtom of TM.
