Nicole,
Various parts of my body also seem to "fall asleep" more easily also -- don't
know why!! Also developed numb areas on my head off and on that weren't part
of original TM. The dr. said about this and other new symptoms that he
thought TM had "altered" my nervous system, making it more sensitive. I'm
trying Carbamazepine and it seems to help somewhat.
