Now for the bad news. My parents headed back to Florida, being the snow
birds that they are, and the day after they arrived she began to lose
control of her right leg. The day after that she was back in the hospital.
She has drop foot in her right leg (which was previously her good leg) and
thinks her left leg is a little worse, and has quite a bit of pain in her
right hip. She feels like the paralysis has moved up a little from the bra
line to mid-sternum (this is approximate, because I only have telephone
conversations to go on). They have brought in a whole team of new doctors,
ran a myelogram, a CAT scan, will be doing a spinal tap tomorrow, blood
tests, etc. Everyone is stumped again and she is very depressed.
Does anyone have any information about relapsing TM? Is this common? Will
she continue to have episodes like this? Will she be able to progress to
where she did before? Are there things she should be asking the doctor to
check on? Any and all information is welcomed.
