I didn't know this cite existed until about 4 weeks ago. I am finding
it scarey but very informative. I was diagnosed 1/91. I have recovered
very well. My problem is I get very upset when the numbness comes back
usually to my right side. This happens everytime I'm over tired or
sick. I always so afraid that it will get as bad as it did when I was
first diagnosed. My husband passed away suddenly last year and I always
counted on him for support. I was 40 when I was diagnosed and my lesion
is at C5
