Mike, Thanks for your response. Now that I think of it I should have known
that this was common for TM. I am now disturbed at myself for not asking my
neuro what he thought about this. I am going to journal this though.
It sure was the darndest thing to see and had me laughing. Guess my body will
never cease to amaze me at the strange things it is capable of.

everything else was either no feeling or slow that the reflexes would be the
same, but not so in our cases it seems, Later, Mike in Mukilteo by the
