I'd like to know if there is anyone who has had total paralysis for a
period of months and eventually recovered. I've heard how patients with
polio as childenn took up to three years to get walking normally. A
urologist (not neurologist) told me the magic time was one year although I
failed to ask him what I should be able to do at that time --wiggle my
toes or run a marathon?
I have been "suffering" since May 2, (MRI showed "lesions" scattered
throughout T6 to T12, although the latest repeat showed only a "thinning"
of the cord in T8-10 region). I'd like to say it's every day (but it
isn't) that something new happens --usually new feeling --and of course,
it's not normal --it's that tingling --most recently --within the last two
weeks I have developed an almost annoying feeling in an area of the body in
the S3 dermatome area.
Has anybody got a story that would be the least bit encouraging about
when I might get back on my exercise bike and lose this terrible gut I've
developed over the summer? ;-)
