Erin, my numbness usually stays below my knees, on and off. When it travels up to one side and I feel unwell (as I describe it), then I know I am in a relapse.

It can travel up the other leg, it did for me in 2003, and it crossed over the whole groin area, being numb there too, yet functional. It only went up to the bra area on one side, the other side to the groin/pelvic area.

At that time I was treated with oral steroids. 100 mgs for three days, then 80mgs for three, 60 mgs..and downward to 10 mgs a day, and then 10 mg every other day for a week. Somehow this worked for me. It was a low, oral dosage, but for a longer period of time.

I hope your not in a relapse, "but when it doubt, check it out."
