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.

Yes, my wife woke one morning getting ready for work. I had left to
work myself and my daughter was getting ready for school. She had felt
a pain in the back of her neck, laid down as her hands started to
tingle had my daughter call, I came home in about 15 mins by then she
could not lift her arms. In less than 4 hours she was completly
paralyzed from the neck down. Quick huh, lots of work later she is a
quad with limited mobility. It's been 4 years lots of work and more to
come but you can never say quit.
Just one day at a time....
