Re: A new symptom: did you have it too?

[Guest guest]

Hi Gessica

I have had this symptom since I was in my early 20's, (I'm now 45) long before

my diagnosis 4 years ago. Drs blamed it on stress way back but I now know its a

chiari thing. It's not painful, just a very weird sensation, that travels down

my extremities. Mostly on my left side. As the illness has progressed, it is all

over my body now. Crazy!! It must be a nerve thing. Maybe someone else will have

a better explanation why it happens. I don't think too much about it when it

happens. Just think to myself, here we go... lol

Have a great day

Funny.. I was just about to post this in the tethered cord group. I am getting

these weird tremors now.

But yes I have had those types of sensations.. It must be nerve/cord/brain

related somehow.I did have severe numbness that lasted for hours, however that

was a muscular issue. You may want to check into that if your hand or leg etc

goes numb for hours at a time. For me it was posture/muscular/nerve related due

to stress and how I was sitting/walking etc.Had some physical therapy and

massage/trigger point injections.If you have severe numbness e-mail me and

call your doctor.
