I guess the closest person on this list is in Houston. I wish there is one
in my area. But, hey, I'll take anyone that can help me.
After reading all your stories, I am now thinking that maybe I don't have
TM but some other disease, although it seems similar. Most of you had a
sudden onset of the symptoms - numbness, tingling, then paralysis of some
sort. I haven't had the paralysis, but have a lot of numbness and still
able to function as usual - for the most part. I seem to be tired all the
time, though. We go to bed between 8:30-9:00 and wake up (during school
days) at 6:30a.m. Most nights I can't sleep due to pain on my back.
Sometimes I have my kids put some Chinese "vicks" on it (called Tiger
Balm). It seems to help relieve the pain some. They don't like the smell
though, so I can't always get them to do. Once in a while, I lay the guilt
trip on them, then they do it. LOL :)
I might call some people tomorrow and get a third opinion as to what
exactly my problem is. I hope I find someone who is more informed about
TM.
