Re: Feeling returning in legs

October 26, 2006

Hi :

I don't know much about any scientific/medical reasons this may or

may not happen, but I do know from experience that when I am getting

ample rest and are not swinging from the trees emotionally I have

more feeling in my extremities.

My son experiences the same phenomenon. He is a graduate student and really has

to pay attention to his rest and stress levels or he will suffer for it thru

more tingling sensations in his hands and less feeling in his legs along with

poorer balance.

I believe lack of sleep affects the body more drastically than any other factor.

I really think this is true for people of all ages with or without disability.

We've also noticed that actual sleep is required - not just resting with the tv

or a book.

I think someone should do a study of adults who take regular naps versus those

who don't.(Someone probably has and I just don't know it). I used to work for

an accountant and it was required that the entire office take a nap/rest

everyday during tax season. At first I thought it was kinda weird, but it did

help to keep us going on those long days.

Sweet Dreams!

The other !!

Thanks so much for your input. I've been pinching myself for 24 hours now. I

really can't believe it. And it gives me hope.

Today I had Jeff do the knee test....when the doctor taps your knee with a dull

object and it's supposed to jump start your leg?!....

I hope you understand what I mean. Anyway, when the doctor did it last time

nothing at all happened. Today I actually moved my foot, only a couple of

inches, but it moved. I can't wait to see the bruises I'm going to get from

pinching my calves..lol...

I'll let you know what happens.
