Hello Everyone! The following questions are for those lucky people
that have recovered to some extent. Thanks in advance for your replies:

FATIGUE

In relation to walking what do you consider a long distance and a short
distance?

What activities can you still do, and can no longer do?

Can you drive... a standard?

Can you travel?

How has tm affected your work?

Do you use a wheelchair or other walking aids ? For what percentage of
time?

Can you swim or hike?

Can you walk on uneven surfaces or up slopes?

Can you climb stairs?

Can you balance on ladders of various sizes?

Overall, how has fatigue affected your quality of life?

RECOVERY

If your legs feel tired, numb, tingly or painful, when you walk, did
they feel this way BEFORE you were able to walk?

If proprioception was a problem did it improve?

If your gait was poor did it improve?

Did exercise improve your gait and proprioception?

If you have numbness or lack of sensation in your lower legs is it
better than it was? Is it improving? Does it prevent you from walking?

Did you have problems with bowel and bladder? What was the problem and
did it improve?

Are you still seeing recovery?

That's it!! Thanks everyone.

Lynda
