i was diagnosed with tm 3 mths. ago. i have a lesion in the T6. this made my
legs and feet go numb and all my internal organs from the waist down.
i was given steroids for 5 days intravenously followed by 10 days more in
tablet form. after that, i have just been taking the herbs: omega fish oil,
gamma linolenic acid, and mega super stress. these herbs are supposed to help
heal the myelin. (i have taken these religiously since being released from
the hospital, except for the last 10 days)
i was pretty normal until last week when i started feeling very tired and worn
out. my feet went numb for a couple days and my hair started falling out. my
feet went back to pretty normal, but my hair continues to fall out. has
anyone experienced this? is it due to the steroids? or am i having a
relapse? also, does the girdle-like sympton ever go away. mine, has
loosened, but it is still there. i am so scared. please respond if you have
any feedback.
