I was really interested to hear that you have both experienced pain which,
in my case, can last over a number of days and that it seems to be a
precursor to regaining sensation. I have found that whilst suffering on
the "bad days", you really have to focus on the fact that, more times than
not it, means that you are about to make a jump in improvement. Its hard
work to think positive on those days.....but, certainly in my case there has
been improvement at the end of it. Interestingly, I seem to be suffering
from more "bad days" at the moment although they are less "bad" than they
used to be.......improvement is getting really noticeable.
Be positive amd good luck

Dear Bill,
In my case each time I have gone through bouts of change, such as "weird
tone" and pain, these attacks have been followed by marked inprovement.
Recently I went through an extremely hard attack lasting about 4 days, and
on the fifth day I awoke to find my right foot had regained not only deep
pressure sensation but the normal sensation (except for my heel) as
experienced prior to TM. I can not tell you that these "attacks" will be
pleasent, oh far from it, but I can tell you I have regained each time.
Never give up and never look back, keep you mind on other things that
promote healing and not bitterness. The difference between "bitter" and
"better" is the letter "I". One thing that helps me is simply acting as
opposed to reacting when these "weird tones" occure for example, work with
the weird tone in the water by exercising the areas you are having
difficultly with. I use the compound cream mixed expressly for this, and
take the prescribed medication to keep these attacks from placing me in the
hospital. Please talk to you doctor about a solution to this, he can't help
you if you don't talk to him or her. Keep up your journal and please
remember in one year or less you will be able to look back and see
improvement.
Kindest regards,
Beth Rowton
