Maria,

I know from one of your previous posts that the site of your lesion was
approximately the same as mine, and resulted in similar affected areas. When
I go to the neuro for exams, and he probes my back with a pin, the area
around and just below the right shoulder blade senses the pinprick but it
actually feels rather good. I've joked about telling him that I'll give him
just 15 minutes to stop that. I wonder if I might enjoy a visit by a few
mosquitoes?
