To be honest I am not even sure if I am spelling this correctly, but I'm told
this is the definition of part of my experience in the first two days of my
TM onset. Within hours I had become completely paralyzed from the waist
down. Although I had no real definitive feeling, I had pain...especially on
my legs themselves. It seem as if just having them covered with a hospital
sheet was sending sheets of needles stabbing at me. Luckily this feeling
subsided gradually within a day or two. Following this I began the slow
climb back with small movements on the toes of one of my feet.
Has anyone else started their attack with this feeling. From what I have
been reading alot of people had a much slower progression at first so their
experiences are somewhat different. What about other people who had the same
kind of immediate progression as me...within a matter of two hours with no
previous symptoms, I was completely paralyzed and the parastesis began.
